NASA Seeks Proposals for Ground-Based Research Projects

NASA Seeks Proposals for Ground-Based Research Projects NASA Seeks Proposals for Ground-Based Research Projects NASA Seeks Proposals for Ground-Based Research Projects NASA recently released a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) soliciting research proposals to conduct ground-based research using data contained in NASA’s Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI) system, an online database of data from International Space Station flight experiments. The PSI database provides investigators access to the raw and processed experimental data from past and current physical science International Space Station flight experiments. With the release of the NRA, titled Use of the NASA Physical Sciences Informatics System, NASA hopes to promote rapid, multiple investigations resulting in more scientists participating in ISS research. For more information on the PSI system, visit http://psi.nasa.gov. The first call for proposals, Appendix A to the NRA, solicits proposals in the five research areas Combustion Science, Complex Fluids, Fluid Physics, Fundamental Physics and Materials Science for which complete experimental data will available in the PSI by the proposal due date of Sept. 30, 2015. The call is open to two types of investigators: established researchers and graduate students.
