Grants Total Some $14 Million Over Three To Four Years
NASA's Human Research Program (HRP) and the National Space
Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) of Houston will fund 12
proposals to help investigate questions about astronaut health and
performance on future space exploration missions. The selected
proposals, representing 11 institutions in nine states, will
receive approximately $14 million over a three-to-four year
period.
HRP provides knowledge and technologies to improve human health
and performance during space exploration and develops possible
countermeasures for problems experienced during space travel. The
program's goals are to help complete missions successfully and
preserve astronauts' health throughout their lives. HRP quantifies
crew health and performance risks during spaceflight and develops
strategies that mission planners and system developers can use to
monitor and mitigate them.
The 12 projects were selected from 85 proposals received in
response to the research announcement "Research and Technology
Development to Support Crew Health and Performance in Space
Exploration Missions." Scientific and technical experts from
academia and government reviewed the proposals. Ten of the projects
will have NASA principal investigators while two will be managed by
NSBRI.
NSBRI is a NASA-funded consortium of institutions studying
health risks related to long-duration spaceflight. The institute's
science, technology and education projects take place at more than
60 institutions across the United States.
