New NASA Research Announcement NNJ25ZSA001N-OMNIBUS

NASA Human Research Program Omnibus Opportunity

NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) has released solicited NOFO NNJ25ZSA001N-OMNIBUS that solicits applied research in support of HRP goals and objectives. This is Appendix A of the Human Exploration Research Opportunities (HERO) NOFO (NNJ25ZSA001N).

NASA is soliciting investigations lasting no more than one year that provide innovative approaches to any of the risks and gaps contained in the Integrated Research Plan (https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov) of the Human Research Program. NASA is also soliciting novel research ideas that might not be directly aligned with HRP’s identified risks from new investigators or early career investigators who have not received funding from NASA HRP, NASA Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research, the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, or the Translational Research Institute for Space Health in the last ten years. Early career investigators must additionally be no more than ten years from their terminal research degree or clinical training. See the solicitation for details.
