Biospecimen Sharing provides the scientific
community with access to NASA's inventory of biological materials from
organisms that have flown in space or from related ground control studies. Applicants may submit proposals
specifically for analysis of materials obtained from this Program or as an
adjunct or supplementary component of an experiment proposal in another
research area. Acceptance of materials commits the requestor to provide NASA
with results of the study. These
products should include electronic submissions of raw and analyzed data and a
final report for archival by the Life Sciences Data Archive project
(
http://lsda.jsc.nasa.gov). Any publications resulting from the
study should be appropriately attributed to NASA. The materials remain the
property of NASA, can only be used for the approved purpose, and unused
portions of the biospecimens must be returned to NASA
at the conclusion of the study.
