The TRISH SHIP will foster collaboration and mentorship by connecting seasoned and new space biomedical investigators. Scientists who have not previously worked with TRISH or NASA’s Human Research Program will have access to a community of peers for training and support.
“TRISH is bringing in new ideas and investigators to propel space health research,” said , TRISH operations lead and research administration associate at Baylor College of Medicine. “We have long believed that new researchers with fresh perspectives drive innovation and advance human space exploration and SHIP builds on TRISH’s existing efforts to recruit and support new investigators in the space health research field, potentially yielding and high-impact ideas to protect space explorers.”
Selected awardees from this solicitation will result in a greater number of new investigators applying to and receiving awards from NASA and TRISH funding opportunities.
