Same advice as above. Dig into the data and tools, read the previous studies, and pick a dataset to work. Then attend the monthly meeting for your AWG (calendar , log in first) and introduce yourself to the leads.
Check the master table of open subgroup projects too. Reply there if something fits or if you have your own idea.

Welcome @jannathulfarzana and @Bea31
Make sure to spend time looking at all the data and tools to come up with new investigations. Looking at previous studies is quite useful too.
Previous work: NASA OSDR-GeneLab Enabled Publications, Pre-Prints, Student Theses - Google Scholar NASA OSDR Biological Data and Visualization Portal NASA OSDR: Open Science for Life in Space https://www.nasa.gov/reference/gl4u-training-resources/ About - Open Science Data Repository Analysis Working Groups
@jannathulfarzana you posted in the Brain AWG category, which is the right instinct. Search the portal for brain, retina, and CNS tissue from the rodent missions and see what assays exist, then read the papers that used them. Behavioral and cognitive data are thinner than omics in OSDR, so a psych background looking at that gap is useful. The Brain AWG meets monthly, see the calendar (log in first).
@Bea31 mining sector plus microbes plus plants points straight at the new Regolith AWG, alongside Plant. Biomining, bioleaching, and growing crops in lunar and Martian simulant are all live questions there. Browse the microbial and plant datasets on the dashboard and come to the Plant and Regolith monthly meetings with what you find. The best guidance here comes from picking a dataset and working it, then asking specific questions at the meeting.
Both of you, look through the master table of open subgroup projects . If something fits, say so in that thread. If you have your own idea, propose it there too.
Cheers,
