About this award
The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) received a $2.81 million cooperative agreement from a civilian federal agency through a Shared Services Center for graduate medical education training in aerospace medicine. The award, which commenced on December 1, 2021, and concludes on September 30, 2026, supports UTMB's residency training program in aerospace medicine, one of only two civilian programs in the United States and the sole program capable of providing substantial exposure to space medicine operations. This funding is particularly critical following the closure of Wright State University's aerospace residency program in 2018, which reduced civilian training opportunities in the specialty. UTMB's program, which receives additional support from NASA, is tasked with preparing highly qualified physicians for broad education in aerospace medicine with significant emphasis on space medicine curriculum.
The cooperative agreement addresses a documented gap in the nation's physician training infrastructure for aerospace medicine, a field currently served by only five residency programs, three of which are military-focused institutions dedicated to national defense. By supporting UTMB's educational mission, the award ensures continued development of civilian aerospace medicine specialists with expertise in both general aerospace medicine and specialized space medicine operations. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of federal commitment to maintaining robust civilian training capacity in this critical specialty field.
Description
Specialty training for physicians in the field of aerospace medicine is currently provided by only five residency training programs in the united states. Three of these are military programs that have a mission primarily focused on national defense.
