Space Health Ingress Program
Increasing new-to-TRISH/NASA investigators
TRISH is seeking innovative proposals for projects that recruit and engage researchers new to space biomedical research. Selected proposals will receive a partnership grant as part of the Space Health Ingress Program.
The TRISH SHIP will fund partner projects foster collaboration and mentorship by connecting seasoned and new space biomedical investigators. The goal for these awards is to increase the number of new investigators applying to and receiving awards from NASA and TRISH funding opportunities. Projects are expected to begin by summer 2024.
Deadline: Feb. 22, 2024, at 5 p.m. EST
The Catalyst Grants Program
TRISH is now accepting Catalyst proposals. The Catalyst Program on the TRISH has transitioned from a single step, full proposal submission process to a two-step procedure with submission of a Step-1 proposal and if invited, a subsequent Step-2 proposal. This change enables proposers to submit a more simplified initial application due to fewer proposal requirements at the Step-1 stage and reduce the barrier toward proposing an idea.
The offers a streamlined method for carrying out proof-of-concept projects, directed technology development(s) for space health that address a critical need(s), maturation of promising concepts with strong preliminary findings, and innovative projects that present opportunities outside of regularly scheduled solicitation cycles. Proposers can apply for Catalyst Tier 1 or Tier 2 projects. Please note that TRISH is currently prioritizing Tier 1 and one-year projects.
The Catalyst Grants Program is a continuous open call for proposals.
