In this rigorous program, students work closely with renowned NASA scientists and engineers on cutting-edge research, benefitting from the concentration of bioscience expertise at Ames. In addition to conducting hands-on research, SLSTP students attend technical lectures given by experts on a wide range of topics and tour NASA research facilities.<\/p>\nThis program provides opportunities for students to develop professional skills. These include technical and professional development training, presenting their scientific work and submitting an abstract to a professional scientific organization (e.g. the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research<\/a>.)<\/p>\nSLSTP participants are exposed to a broad scope of space biosciences<\/a>\u00a0research performed by NASA scientists. While learning about the tools and methodology that enable biological experiments to be conducted in flight, students acquire skills and knowledge required for the design and execution of life science research conducted in microgravity.<\/p>\nParticipants in the program receive a stipend and may be eligible to attend a scientific conference to formally present their research.<\/p>\n
Research Areas<\/strong>
Students in SLSTP undertake research projects in multiple areas, including:<\/p>\n\n- The effects of spaceflight on living systems, conducted both on the ground and also in space aboard the International Space Station and other spacecraft.<\/li>\n
- The development and operation of specialized research facilities to support investigations in microgravity, partial gravity, and hypergravity.<\/li>\n
- Research and development of advanced biotechnologies that enable NASA\u2019s exploration of distant destinations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Information for Applicants<\/strong>
The SLSTP is an equal opportunity program. Admission is by competitive application process. Past student participants were selected for their outstanding merit, passion for space, and desire to study space life science. Applicants must fulfill the following requirements: be a US citizen, age 18 or older in high academic standing (GPA of 3.2 or greater). Applicants should be junior or senior undergraduate student next Fall or a senior graduating in 2024 and entering graduate school for Fall 2024.<\/p>\nHow to Apply:<\/strong>
Applications for the summer 2024 program will be opening soon in late 2023. Applications will be open in the NASA Internships Gateway portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSLSTP Mailing List<\/strong>
