The Impact of Microgravity on Fundamental Stem Cell Properties

Welcome to the ISS National Lab Request for Proposals

A Call for Spaceflight and Ground-Based Experiments

RFP No. CASIS 2013-3 | Proposals Due: July 25, 2013

The ISS National Lab is pleased to announce a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking to identify projects within the field of mammalian stem cell biology. The ISS National Lab is confident that this RFP will attract both experienced and new-to-space investigators interested in exploiting the effects of microgravity and the space environment’s unique conditions to investigate the fundamental properties of mammalian stem cells, including their ability to self-renew, proliferate and differentiate. The ISS National Lab will support this process through grant funding, facilitation of service-provider interactions and flight coordination to and from the International Space Station U.S. National Laboratory.

ISS National Lab staff have developed a step-by-step process to ensure potential proposers an easy, efficient submittal process. Please follow the steps below:
