The Space Biology Program solicits and funds research that will increase NASAs understanding of how living systems respond to the unique environments that are encountered during space exploration, including the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environment inside the International Space Station (ISS) and deep space conditions beyond LEO, including transit to and maintenance in Lunar and Martian environments.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 54 Announces that:

1) E.9 Space Biology: Plant Studies and E.10 Space Biology: Animal Studies are being deferred to ROSES-2024, to be released February 14, 2024. 2) E.11 Research Pathfinder for Beyond Low Earth Orbit Space Biology Investigations will not be solicited in ROSES-2023, nor does NASA anticipate soliciting it in ROSES-2024.

On or about October 12, 2023, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2023 (NNH23ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023 and will appear on SARAs ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2023/
