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

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

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

CONGRESSWOMAN SHEILA JACKSON LEE
THE 18TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
June 2017-August 2017
(Various Locations)
On behalf of the constituents of the 18th Congressional District of
Texas, I along with members of the Texas Carpenters Regional Council,
Carpenters Local Union 551, Victor Washington and Washington & Son Air
Conditioning, Haley Ahart-Keiffer, Mrs. Houston International, local nonprofit
organizations and private businesses, have collaborated to provide air
conditioners to senior citizens, veterans and the disabled in the greater
Houston area, in the District’s Annual “Beat The Heat” Program.
For years we have worked to ensure that the most vulnerable members
of our community receive air conditioners. We should never risk the lives of
seniors and children who are most at risk for health-related complications.
With the senior population becoming increasingly diverse, these
demographics will have profound impacts on the demand for social services,
especially the need for adequate cooling. This is an opportunity to give back
