About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, Inc. (CASIS) are seeking research proposals in the fields of fluid dynamics, particulate and multiphase processes, combustion and fire systems, thermal transport processes, nanoscale interactions, manufacturing methods, and resulting metallic and ceramic materials that can utilize the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab to conduct research benefiting life on Earth. Only U.S. persons, including academic investigators, non-profit independent research laboratories, and academic-commercial teams, are eligible to submit proposals. The key evaluation criteria include the potential impact of the research on life on Earth, the use of the unique ISS environment, and the qualifications of the research team. Proposals are due by April 10, 2025.
Recent awards under the program have ranged from approximately $25,000 to over $1 million, typically covering 1-3 year project periods. The research activities are expected to be primarily conducted at the awardee institutions' facilities, with some work possibly taking place aboard the ISS.
Synopsis
The Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) and the Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing innovation (CMMI) in the Engineering Directorate (ENG) and the Division of Materials Research (DMR) in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) are partnering with The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, Inc. (CASIS) to solicit research projects in the general fields of fluid dynamics, particulate and multiphase processes, combustion and fire systems, thermal transport processes, nanoscale interactions, manufacturing methods that employ any of those transport phenomena, and resulting metallic materials, metal nanostructures and ceramic materials that can utilize the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab to conduct research that will benefit life on Earth. Only entities that qualify as "U.S. Persons" under 22 U.S. Code §6010, including academic investigators, non-profit independent research laboratories and academic-commercial teams are eligible to submit proposals.
