Research Opportunities in Space Biology (ROSBio) - 2018

this knowledge and technology to improve our nation's competitiveness, education, and the quality of life on Earth. “ROSBio-2018” will be released on or about July 22, 2018. It can be found by opening the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ and then linking through the menu listings "Solicitations" to "Open Solicitations." Appendices may have specific eligibility requirements that differ from those in the Omnibus NRA, and it is the proposer’s responsibility to understand those requirements. Unless specified in an individual Appendix, Principal Investigators may collaborate with investigators from universities, Federal Government laboratories, the private sector, state and local government laboratories and other countries, with the exception of China.
Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to an Appendix issued with ROSBio-2018 must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit electronic proposals. Instructions on how to register in NSPIRES are described in this omnibus NRA. Each electronic proposal will require the registration of principal investigators and other participants (e.g. co-investigators). Potential proposers and proposing organizations are urged to access the system(s) well in advance of the proposal due date(s) to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested information. Questions about this ROSBio-2018 and its Appendices may be addressed to the contacts referenced in the full solicitation document.
This is a broad agency announcement as specified in FAR 6.102 (d)(2). All awards resulting from selections of proposals to future Appendices will be grants or cooperative agreements.
