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>\n\n\n\n<p>This 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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asgsr.org\" rel=\"noopener\">American Society for Gravitational and Space Research<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SLSTP participants are exposed to a broad scope of space biosciences research 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>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants in the program receive a stipend and may be eligible to attend a scientific conference to formally present their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Research Areas<\/strong><br>Students in SLSTP undertake research projects in multiple areas, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>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\n\n\n<li>The development and operation of specialized research facilities to support investigations in microgravity, partial gravity, and hypergravity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Research and development of advanced biotechnologies that enable NASA\u2019s exploration of distant destinations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Information for Applicants<\/strong><br>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 3.0 or greater). The 2024 summer program application period has ended. For applicants interested in the 2025 program, they should be junior or senior undergraduate student next Fall or a senior graduating in 2025 and entering graduate school for Fall 2025. Check back here in January 2025 for information about applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SLSTP Mailing List<\/strong><br>To subscribe to our mailing list and to receive e-mail announcements about the program and application process, please send an email to <a href=\"mailto:arc-slstp@mail.nasa.gov\">arc-slstp@mail.nasa.gov<\/a> with \u201csubscribe\u201d in the subject to be added to our mailing list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Program Support<\/strong><br>The SLSTP is funded by NASA\u2019s Space Biology Program, which is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/biological-physical\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Biological and Physical Sciences Division<\/a> of NASA.
