Grant For Research NNX15AN64G

This is a $1,049,939.41 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct research on technologies for the asynchronous delivery of psychotherapeutic techniques to astronauts during long-duration space missions. The project aims to address the challenges of providing real-time mental health support to astronauts who may experience behavioral health issues in extreme environments. The research will involve systematic reviews of existing literature and the design of a clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of various technologies for the asynchronous delivery of evidence-based psychotherapies. The resulting best practice guidelines will be made publicly available, and the findings will be presented to NASA behavioral health experts. This grant award is not associated with a set-aside program.
