FUNDING OPPORTUNITY: POSTDOCTORAL
FELLOWSHIPS TO SAFEGUARD ASTRONAUT HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE DURING DEEP SPACE
EXPLORATION
NSPIRES
Solicitation Number: TRIRFA1701
Release Date:
May 26, 2017
Proposal Due
Date: July 31, 2017 (~4 weeks left!)
The
Translational Research Institute (TRI) has been tasked by NASA to identify and
fund groundbreaking research and development that can reduce the risks to the
health and performance of humans on space exploration missions. TRI is also
committed to developing a robust and well-trained workforce that can enable
NASA’s missions. TRI is releasing a funding opportunity that seeks to
support the nation’s brightest postdoctoral fellows in performing research
related to human space flight. Two-year fellowships are available in any United
States (U.S.) laboratory carrying out biomedical research. The full
announcement is available at (https://tinyurl.com/TRI-RFA-17-01).
Fellowships
enable young scientists to train as independent investigators with their own
research projects while continuing to learn from experienced faculty mentors.
The program serves as a mechanism to strengthen the high-tech workforce of the
future.
Applicants must
submit research proposals together with an identified mentor and institution. A
listing of independent investigators with existing research grant support who
are seeking postdoctoral applicants can be found on the FAQ at the website
above. Prospective mentors may also apply directly with their postdoctoral
candidate without being listed in the FAQ document. Selected applicants will
receive a stipend for salary support, allowance for health insurance, and
travel funds for related scientific meetings. An optional, competitive third
year of support is possible. Funds to support the research itself must be
supplied by the mentor.
All categories
of U.S. institutions are eligible to submit proposals (universities, federal
government laboratories, the private sector, and state and local government
laboratories).
Full proposals
submitted through nspires.nasaprs.com
will be due on July 31, 2017. Technical questions should be directed to the
NSPIRES help desk at NSPIRES-help@nasaprs.com
or TRI@nasaprs.com. Programmatic or
scientific questions may be directed to Dr. Dorit Donoviel, TRI Interim
Director at donoviel@bcm.edu.

The
Translational Research Institute (TRI) is funded by a cooperative agreement
from NASA to Baylor College of Medicine with consortium partners California
Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The
Institute’s mission is to lead a national effort in translating cutting-edge,
emerging terrestrial research into applied space flight and to support human
risk-mitigation for exploration missions beyond low Earth orbit.
