NASA is seeking proposals for a program element that aims to advance knowledge in space-related human health, animal, and plant sciences. Proposals can cover a wide range of research areas, from ground-breaking investigations to partnerships that will help secure additional funding for NASA projects. The total funding available for this program is up to $2.5M, with a performance period of up to 5 years.
Interested researchers can submit proposals for ground-based research studies, collaborations to enhance research efforts and secure funding, or other activities that align with NASA’s science priorities in these areas. All proposals must include an Inclusion Plan and will undergo evaluation through dual anonymous peer review for consideration.
The focus of the proposals should be on advancing knowledge in space-related human health, animal, and plant sciences. Researchers can submit proposals that investigate new technologies or methods for monitoring and managing space-related health issues in humans, animals, or plants. They can also propose collaborations with other organizations or institutions to enhance research efforts and secure additional funding for NASA projects in these areas.
NASA is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in its scientific community and requires all proposals submitted under this program element to include an Inclusion Plan. This plan should outline how the proposed research will promote diversity and inclusion within the scientific community and how it will benefit underrepresented groups.
Researchers who are interested in submitting a proposal under this program element should carefully review the guidelines provided by NASA and ensure that their proposal meets all requirements before submitting it for consideration.
