About this opportunity

This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits hypothesis-driven space-flight research in Space Biology (SB) to be conducted on ISS. NASA SB experiments have one or more of the following primary goals: 1) to effectively use microgravity and the other characteristics of the space environment to enhance our understanding of basic biological processes; 2) to develop the scientific and technological foundations for a safe, productive human presence in space for extended periods and in preparation for exploration; and 3) to apply this knowledge and technology to improve our nation's the quality of life on Earth. NASA SB experiments will be designed to discover how space flight affects a diverse group of animals; study the effects of gravity (g) across the g-spectrum, from micro- to hyper-gravity; and characterize the biological effects of radiation, magnetic fields, and the interaction among species i n the unusual environments of space and spacecraft. This solicitation (NRA NNH14ZTT002N), entitled, "Research Opportunities for Flight Experiments in Space Biology," will be available on or about February 28, 2014. This solicitation will be found by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings "Solicitations" to "Open Solicitations."
