About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF), in partnership with the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), is seeking research proposals in the fields of tissue engineering and mechanobiology that can utilize the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab to conduct research that will benefit life on Earth. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, or organizations incorporated in the U.S. The research projects must fit the scope of either the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Program or the Engineering of Biomedical Systems Program and address fundamental engineering gaps. Proposals will be evaluated based on their scientific merit, impact, and feasibility of conducting the research on the ISS. The deadline for submitting proposals is March 18, 2025.
The funding for this opportunity is provided through the Space Operations program (CFDA 43.007) and the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). Recent awards under these programs have ranged from approximately $25,000 to over $1 million, typically covering 1-3 year project periods. The research activities are expected to be conducted at the recipient institutions, with some work potentially taking place aboard the ISS.
Synopsis
The Divisions of Chemical, Bioengineering and Environmental Transport (CBET) and Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Infrastructure (CMMI) in the Engineering Directorate of the National Science Foundation (NSF) are partnering with the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, Inc. (CASIS) to solicit research projects in the fields of tissue engineering and mechanobiology that can utilize the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab to conduct research that will benefit life on Earth. Topics must fit the scope of either the Biomechanics and Mechanobiology Program or the Engineering of Biomedical Systems Program and must address fundamental engineering gaps. For utilization of the ISS National Lab through this solicitation, individuals and entities must qualify as a United States citizen or alien admitted for permanent residence in the United States, or as a corporation, partnership, or other organization organized under the laws of the United States, respectively.
