Status
expired; no current call
Timing
Expired. The official page still describes POMP 4, which opened in July 2024 and closed October 15, 2024; no current 2026 doctoral, postdoctoral, or research call was posted there.
Eligibility
The expired POMP 4 call required a master's-equivalent degree, language competence, an identified candidate, and an application led by an eligible host-university laboratory in one of the listed countries. Those historical terms must not be projected onto a future call.
Access notes
The page is a valuable description of MELiSSA's closed-loop life-support program, but its application dates are stale. The historical application also required a MELiSSA partner, host institution, fee, and multi-party project structure.

Relationship
indexed only; no formal relationship
Potential fit and evidence boundary
Regenerative life support and academic network
Evidence boundary: Official MELiSSA Foundation call page reviewed. It clearly carries 2024 dates despite current site navigation; no active 2026 POMP or research call was confirmed.
Task-specific matches
No bounded task match is recorded.
Proposed founder action—not undertaken
Treat this as ecosystem monitoring only. Do not prepare or send an application against the expired POMP 4 materials; wait for a new official dated call and then reassess eligibility.
Conflicts and change triggers
Conflicts: Historical application terms, institutional eligibility, fee, partner selection, IP, and ESA-related requirements could change and must not be treated as current.
What would change this record? A newly dated official POMP or research call with current host-country, candidate, partner, and funding terms would reopen the opportunity assessment.
