time frame that the science team needs to characterize the details involved withtheir synchronous ground controls. The PI’s team should also have finalized all postlandingprocedures, including sample preservation, storage, and transport, and dataacquisition prior to the launch.Another option to flying your experiment is through the Center for the Advancementof Science in Space (CASIS) (http://www.iss-casis.org). CASIS is a nonprofitorganization tasked by U.S. Congress and NASA with promoting and enablingresearch on ISS. CASIS can be used for all stages of payload development and canmatch PIs with implementation partners (table below) who can provide heritagehardware or new flight packages:32Table 3.

Generally, funding for microbiology-related research is awardedthrough NASA-sponsored research announcements (NRA’s), ISS NationalLaboratory awards through other government agencies, private commercialenterprise, nonprofit organizations, and research awards sponsored by the ISSInternational Partners. It is not the responsibility of a researcher awarded anISS flight experiment to fund costs associated with launch or the ISS laboratoryfacilities. Greater detail concerning current funding opportunities for ISS researchcan be found through the NASA ISS research website http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/ops/research_information.html.The NASA Solicitation and Proposed Integrated Review and Evaluation System(NSPIRES) can be accessed via http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/.33
