Proposals are solicited by NASA in the areas of Evaluation of Current Clinical Markers as Surrogate Endpoints for Space Radiation-Induced Cardiovascular Disease; Evaluation of Animal Model Systems and Common Pathways in Understanding Space Radiation-Induced Late CNS Outcomes and Cardiovascular Disease; Approaches to Evaluate Sex Dependence and Quality Effects on Space Radiation Carcinogenesis; Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) Simulator Validation Experiments: Dose-Rate Dependence; In-Flight Cognitive and Behavioral Central Nervous System Risks from Space Radiation; and Combined Effects of Simulated Weightlessness and Space Radiation on Cardiovascular Structure and Function. Please note that the last topic is being jointly solicited by HRP and NASA’s Space Biology (SB) Program. Awards range from under $150K per year for focused, limited efforts to $600K per year for extensive activities. Awards will be made as grants. The period of performance for an award is one to four years. All categories of United States institutions are eligible to submit proposals in response to this NRA. The solicitation uses a two-step proposal process. Proposals that do not conform to the standards outlined in the solicitation will be declared noncompliant and will be handled in accordance with the NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. On or about March 22, 2017, the NRA will be available electronically through NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) by going to http://nspires.nasaprs.com A virtual Pre-Proposers Conference is scheduled for March 31, 2017, and more details will be posted shortly alongside the solicitation on NSPIRES.
