Solicitation Number: 80JSC020L0002

Release Date: December 19, 2019

Response Date: January 17, 2020 

 

NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) investigates and mitigates the highest risks to astronaut health and performance in exploration missions. The goal of the HRP is to provide human health and performance countermeasures, knowledge, technologies, and tools to enable safe, reliable, and productive human space exploration, and to ensure safe and productive human spaceflight. The scope of these goals includes both the successful completion of exploration missions and the preservation of astronaut health over the life of the astronaut.

 

To support formulation of a solicitation, NASA is seeking feedback regarding the research topic listed in the RFI. Specifically, NASA wishes to know:

 

·         Is the topic sufficiently well-defined, clear and unambiguous? In particular, NASA is interested to know if the Background and Deliverables are clearly articulated?

 

The full text of the RFI and response instructions can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/HERO19DRSRRFI. Responses must be submitted electronically using the NSPIRES web site. This RFI is open to responses from all parties including commercial entities, international organizations, academia, NASA Centers, and other government agencies. 

 

The information obtained will be used by NASA for planning and acquisition strategy development.  NASA will use the information obtained as a result of this RFI on a non-attribution basis.  Providing data and information that is limited or restricted for use by NASA for that purpose would be of very little value and such restricted/limited data/information is not solicited.  No information or questions received will be posted to any website or public access location.  NASA does not plan to respond to the individual responses. The Government does not intend to award an award on the basis of this RFI or to otherwise pay for the information solicited.
