About this opportunity

This opportunity from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration seeks applied research proposals in four areas to support the goals and objectives of the Human Research Program. Applicants are requested to conduct research on sensory augmentation to enhance sensorimotor recovery, develop a biomarker exploration system for measuring crew performance, identify countermeasures for inconsistencies in crew-systems integration, and mitigate behavioral health and performance risks for lunar missions. Eligible applicants include U.S. institutions who may collaborate with universities, government laboratories, private sector organizations, and state/local government entities. Step-1 proposals are due November 1, 2023 with invited Step-2 proposals due January 30, 2024.

Awards will be in the form of cooperative agreements, grants, or procurement contracts. Research is expected to be performed at recipient organizations across the United States and may involve collaboration with NASA facilities such as the Johnson Space Center. The opportunity seeks to enable sustained human exploration of the solar system and support crewed space operations beyond low-Earth orbit through applied research and technology development focused on crew health and performance.

Synopsis

New NASA Research Announcement: 80JSC024NA001-FLAGSHIP Research and Technology Development to Support Crew Health and Performance in Space Exploration Missions

NASA's Human Research Program (HRP) has released solicited research response area NRA 80JSC024NA001-FLAGSHIP "NASA Research and Technology Development to Support Crew Health and Performance in Space Exploration Missions" that solicits applied research in support of HRP goals and objectives. This response area is Appendix A of the Human Exploration Research Opportunities (HERO) NRA (80JSC024NA001).

Proposals are solicited by NASA in the area of:

· Sensory Augmentation to Enhance Sensorimotor Recovery

· Biomarker exploration system for measuring operationally meaningful performance in future exploration missions

· Countermeasures for Inconsistency in Crew-Systems Integration

· Mitigating Behavioral Health and Performance Risks for Lunar Missions


Appendix A of the HERO NRA and associated documentation can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/HERO24-FLAGSHIP.

The HERO NRA, including all open appendices, is available through the NASA Research Opportunities homepage at: https://tinyurl.com/HERO24OVERVIEW.

A virtual Pre-Proposers Conference is scheduled for October 16, 2023, and more details are posted alongside this solicitation on NSPIRES. Appendix A Step-1 proposals are due November 1, 2023. Invited Appendix A Step-2 proposals are due January 30, 2024.

All categories of United States (U.S.) institutions are eligible to submit proposals in response to the NRA. Principal Investigators may collaborate with universities, Federal Government laboratories, the private sector, and state and local government laboratories. In all such arrangements, the applying entity is expected to be responsible for administering the project according to the management approach presented in the proposal. NASA's policy is to conduct research with non-U.S. organizations on a cooperative, no exchange-of-funds basis.
