DESC: 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

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.
