The National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) is soliciting ground-based, analog definition and flight definition proposals. NSBRI is soliciting proposals for six of its seven research teams. Topic areas include smart medical systems and technology to refine and validate plug-and-play sensor and effector probes that integrate seamlessly with the proposed NASA Flexible Ultrasound System and address or mitigate medical conditions that are likely to be encountered during exploration missions.
Other areas of research include: Sensorimotor Adaptation, Cardiovascular Alterations, Human Factors and Performance, Musculoskeletal Alterations, and Neurobehavioral and Psychosocial Factors.
Proposals responding to NSBRI emphases must be submitted separately, and will result in separate evaluations and awards. Step 1 proposals are due on Sept. 4, 2012, and invited Step 2 proposals are due on Dec. 3, 2012. Participation is open to all categories of organizations, including educational institutions, industry, nonprofit organizations, NASA centers, and other Government agencies.
Proposals must be submitted electronically at http://nspires.nasaprs.com.
