Solicitation Number: NNH15ZSA001L

Release Date: April 14, 2015

Response Date: May 14, 2015

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 focusing on Biological and Physiological Effects of Partial Gravity scheduled to be released in July 2015, NASA is seeking feedback regarding the set of questions shown below in the Research Topics section. Specifically, NASA wishes to know:

1. Are the correct questions being asked to meet the goals of the Program?

2. Is each topic sufficiently well-defined, clear and unambiguous?

The full text of the RFI and response instructions can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/15-AG-RFI. 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.
