| Description: | New NASA Research Announcement:
80JSC024NA001-NSCOR NASA Human Research Program NSCOR Opportunity NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) has released solicited research response area NRA 80JSC024NA001-NSCOR “NASA Human Research Program NASA Specialized Center of Research (NSCOR) Opportunity” that solicits applied research in support of HRP goals and objectives. This response area is Appendix C of the Human Exploration Research Opportunities (HERO) NRA (80JSC024NA001). This NRA solicits ground-based proposals for the Space Radiation Program Element (SRPE) component of the Human Research Program (HRP). Proposals are solicited by the SRPE in the area of Translational Research to Enable Animal-Human Scaling for Estimating Risks to the Central Nervous System Impacting Behavioral Medicine utilizing beams of high energy heavy ions simulating space radiation at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory (NSRL), at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Upton, New York. Appendix C of the HERO NRA and associated documentation can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/HERO24-NSCOR. 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 C Step-1 proposals are due November 1, 2023. Invited Appendix C 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. |
