The project is structured into two sequential phases: a 27-month Phase I focused on establishing and validating microphysiological systems (MPS) to quantify aging rates, and a 15-month Phase II dedicated to developing age-related pathology models for pro-regenerative drug testing. Key requirements include the use of MPS or organoids for at least 75 percent of experimental samples, the creation of LEO twin experiments, and the establishment of a contractual partnership with at least one Fortune 100 biopharmaceutical company. The program schedule spans FY27 through FY30 and includes two planned space launches in months 39 and 41. Awards will be granted via multiple Other Transaction (OT) Agreements to the most advantageous proposers, including universities, non-profits, and businesses. Evaluation is based primarily on the innovation and feasibility of the technical approach, the potential to transform biomedicine, and the team's expertise in managing costs and schedules. Proposers must adhere to strict administrative requirements, including the BIOSECURE Act, NIH Genomic Data Sharing policies, and specific research security and cybersecurity disclosures. Full proposals are due by October 7, 2026.
