Unsolicited Health Research Proposal Gets Funded by CASIS
CASIS to Fund Unsolicited Proposal From the Department of Veterans Affairs in Anti-Cancer Research, CASIS
“The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), the nonprofit organization managing research onboard the International Space Station (ISS) U.S. National Laboratory, today announced the funding of an unsolicited proposal with the Department of Veterans Affairs for approximately $300,000 to utilize the ISS discovery platform to evaluate known and novel anti-cancer drug therapies.”
So, that looks like one unsolicited proposal and half a dozen RFPs, and it took them two years. Hopefully, now that the door is opened a little bit, we’ll see more unsolicited proposals coming forward. I suspect that if we rely on CASIS to create viable RFPs then the National Lab will just fade away from too little, too late.
C’mon CASIS. Prove me wrong!
