The NRA can be obtained by contacting the NASA officials listed below. At some point soon, you should be able to download the entire NRA from either: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/ or from the NASA/OLMSA Life and Biomedical Science and Applications (LBSAD) BSAD Gopher: gopher://lifegopher.hq.nasa.gov/ NOTE: An update for more specific details regarding download sites will be posted, if necessary. +++++++++++++ NASA OMB Approval No. 2700-0042 NRA 95 OLMSA-01 NASA Research Announcement Soliciting Proposals for Ground-Based and Small Payloads Research in Space Life Sciences Life and Biomedical Sciences and Applications Division Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications National Aeronautics and Space Administration Date NRA Issued: January 26, 1995 Letters of Intent Due: March 24, 1995 Proposals Due: April 21, 1995 This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals to participate in Ground-Based and Small Payloads Research in Space Life Sciences. This is a broad-based announcement that solicits research proposals for all of the major programs of the Life and Biomedical Sciences and Applications Division. The specific programs that are included in this announcement are Space Biology, Space Physiology and Countermeasures, Environmental Health, Space Radiation Health, Space Human Factors, Advanced Life Support, Advanced Extravehicular Activity Systems, Advanced Technology Development and Data Analysis. Proposals submitted in response to this Announcement may be either for standard ground-based research investigations or for small payload flight experiments or for both. Proposal to develop experiments aiming at space station utilization are particularly encouraged. Subsequent announcements similar to and based upon this Announcement will be updated and issued annually and will be the primary means of obtaining research proposals from the scientific community for ground and small payloads research in the space life sciences. Although this NRA is broad- based, it is restricted to the science programs named above and described in detail in Appendix A. The potential proposer should read the program descriptions that are of interest with care and attempt to focus the proposal on the specific research emphases defined in this Announcement. Participation in the Ground-based and Small Payloads Research in Space Life Sciences is open to all individuals and all categories of domestic and foreign organizations, industry, educational institutions, other nonprofit organizations, NASA laboratories, and other U.S. Governmental agencies. Proposals which will enhance or complement the scientific return from research currently being supported by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, or other Government agencies are encouraged. In addition, proposals to advance technology and develop practical applications of technology are sought under this Announcement. Because of limitations of access to flight opportunities, it is expected that the majority of proposals approved in response to this Announcement would be for ground-based research. A letter of Intent to Propose is requested by March 24, 1995. Proposals may be submitted at any time up to April 21, 1995. Proposals will be evaluated for scientific/technical value, soundness, intrinsic scientific/technical value, relevance, implementation feasibility, and cost. A selection announcement will be made between August and October of 1995. Funding of selected proposals will begin sometime between October 1995 and September 1996.
