NASA ANNOUNCES RESEARCH GRANTS IN MICROGRAVITY MATERIALS SCIENCE

     NASA has selected 65 researchers to receive grants totaling 
approximately $22 million over four years to conduct microgravity 
materials science research on Earth and in space. 

     Sponsored by NASA's Office of Life and Microgravity Science 
and Applications, this research offers investigators the 
opportunity to use a low-gravity environment to enhance the 
understanding of fundamental physical and chemical processes 
associated with materials science.
