Physical Sciences Informatics
Funding Agency:
- NASA
Physical Sciences Informatics (PSI) system (https://www.nasa.gov/PSI) is an online database of completed physical science reduced-gravity flight experiments conducted on the International Space Station (ISS), Space Shuttle flights, Free Flyers, or commercial cargo flights to and from the ISS, and of related ground-based studies. The goals of the PSI system are to: a) promote investigations making use of currently available experimental data resulting in more scientists participating in reduced-gravity research; b) allow new areas of research and discovery to occur more quickly through open access; and c) accelerate the "research to product or publication" timeline through the rapid sharing of data. The PSI system allows researchers access to the detailed experimental data obtained from flight research conducted as part of the Physical Sciences Research Program in support of NASA's Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) Division. See the International Space Station Researcher’s Guide to the Physical Sciences Informatics System for more information. This PSI call for proposals is part of NASA SMD's ROSES-2021 solicitation. All proposers are encouraged to read the ROSES-2021 Summary of Solicitation, to learn the default guidelines. The default content and format of proposals are described in Section IV(b) and Table 1 of the ROSES-2021 Summary of Solicitation. Some of these defaults are modified in the sections below. In the cases of any conflicts, this program element takes precedence, followed by the ROSES-2021 Summary of Solicitation, and last the 2021 NASA Guidebook for Proposers. Statutes and regulations always apply and take precedence over any solicitation or guidance.
