NASA, NSBRI Select Crew Health Proposals for Deep Space Missions and Artificial Gravity Research

NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) and the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) will fund 27 proposals to help investigate questions about astronaut health and performance on future deep space exploration missions and artificial gravity countermeasures.

The selected proposals will investigate the impact of the space environment on various aspects of astronaut health, including visual impairment, behavioral health, bone/muscle loss, cardiovascular alterations, human factors and performance, neurobehavioral and psychosocial factors, sensorimotor adaptation, and the development and application of smart medical systems and technologies.

Other proposals will investigate responses of various biological systems to artificial gravity. All of the selected projects will contribute to knowledge needed for NASA’s journey to Mars.
