| The National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) partners with NASA to fund research that enables human space exploration. Astronauts face many physical and psychological challenges during long-duration missions, and NSBRI's science and technology program is addressing these as well as analogous difficulties experienced on Earth.
The science and technology teams include:
- Cardiovascular Alterations
- Human Factors and Performance
- Musculoskeletal Alterations
- Neurobehavioral and Psychosocial Factors
- Radiation Effects
- Sensorimotor Adaptation
- Smart Medical Systems and Technology
NSBRI also inspires and supports future scientists, physicians and engineers through summer internships, graduate and postdoctoral fellowships, and career development awards. The Institute enriches science educators through a wealth of online and print K-16 teacher materials and resources. |
