Description

This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for ground-based experimental and theoretical materials science research in biomaterials and radiation shielding. Descriptions of biomaterials and radiation shielding research activities and interests are given in Appendix A. For programmatic reasons, proposals will only be accepted for ground-based research. It is expected that a single solicitation for materials science and other Physical Sciences Division (PSD) disciplines will be released on an annual basis, starting in Fall 2001. All other aspects of materials science research will be solicited at that time. Participation is open to U.S. investigators and to all categories of organizations: industry, educational institutions, other nonprofit organizations, NASA centers, and other U.S. Government agencies. Since this NRA solicits only for ground-based research, proposals from non-U.S. investigators will not be accepted. Proposals may be submitted at any time during the period ending November 27, 2001. Proposals will be evaluated by science peer reviews. Late proposals will be considered if it is in the best interest of the Government. This NRA will be available after August 24, 2001 through the Internet at: http://research.hq.nasa.gov/code_u/open.cfm Paper copies of the Announcement can also be obtained by calling (202) 479-4180 after August 24, 2001. Please direct any other inquiries to the technical point of contact for this effort: Dr. Michael J. Wargo, Physical Sciences Division, Code UG, NASA Headquarters, Washington, DC 20546, Phone (202) 358-0822, Fax (202) 358-3091, Email mwargo@hq.nasa.gov, This notice constitutes a NASA Research Announcement as contemplated in FAR 6.102 (d) (2). Proposal due date is November 27, 2001. Research areas under this NASA Research Announcement include biomaterials and radiation shielding materials.
