Opportunity Information: Apply for 80JSC024NA001 OMNIBUS
The 2024 HERO Appendix B: NASA Human Research Program Omnibus Opportunity is a NASA Research Announcement (NRA 80JSC024NA001-OMNIBUS) issued by the NASA Johnson Space Center under the broader Human Exploration Research Opportunities (HERO) umbrella (80JSC024NA001). This appendix is designed to fund applied, near-term research that supports NASA's Human Research Program (HRP) goals, with a strong focus on producing practical results that can help reduce risk to astronauts and improve the safety and effectiveness of human spaceflight.
At its core, NASA is seeking one-year (or shorter) investigations that bring innovative approaches to specific human health and performance risks and research gaps identified by HRP. Those needs are documented in the HRP Integrated Research Plan, which is maintained on the Human Research Roadmap website (https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov). In other words, proposed projects are expected to connect clearly to known issues affecting humans in space, such as health, physiology, behavioral health, performance, and operational concerns, as captured in the Roadmap's risk and gap structure.
In addition to projects that directly map to HRP-defined risks, the Omnibus opportunity also explicitly welcomes novel, outside-the-box ideas that may not align perfectly with existing HRP risk statements, as long as they are compelling and relevant to human spaceflight challenges. This "open door" is especially aimed at bringing in new investigators and early career investigators who have not been funded by NASA HRP, NASA EPSCoR, the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, or the Translational Research Institute for Space Health within the past ten years. For early career status, applicants must also be within ten years of their terminal research degree or completion of clinical training (with the solicitation providing the formal definitions and any exceptions).
From a funding and award standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity that may be supported through several instrument types, including grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts. The posted award ceiling is $150,000, and NASA anticipates making about three awards under this appendix (as listed in the opportunity record). The CFDA number associated with the program is 43.007, reflecting NASA research and development assistance.
Eligibility is broad: all categories of U.S. institutions may apply, described as unrestricted eligibility subject to any clarifications in the full text. Proposals may be led by universities and can include collaborations with federal laboratories, private-sector partners, and state or local government labs. The key administrative point is that the submitting organization remains responsible for overall project management and award administration in line with the management plan presented in the proposal. NASA also notes its policy regarding international participation: NASA may conduct research with non-U.S. organizations on a cooperative basis with no exchange of funds, meaning international partners can contribute, but NASA generally will not pay foreign entities under this arrangement.
The application process uses a two-step submission structure. A virtual pre-proposers conference was scheduled for October 16, 2023, to help potential applicants understand expectations and logistics. Step 1 proposals for Appendix B were due November 1, 2023, and only applicants invited forward would submit Step 2 proposals, due January 30, 2024. The appendix documentation and instructions are provided through the HERO Appendix B page (https://tinyurl.com/HERO24-OMNIBUS), and the overall HERO NRA with all open appendices is available via NASA Research Opportunities (https://tinyurl.com/HERO24OVERVIEW), with additional posting and submission details available through NSPIRES.Apply for 80JSC024NA001 OMNIBUS

It is a funding appendix under NASA's Human Exploration Research Opportunities (HERO) umbrella, issued as part of a NASA Research Announcement (NRA 80JSC024NA001-OMNIBUS) by NASA Johnson Space Center. Appendix B is focused on applied, near-term human research that supports the goals of NASA's Human Research Program (HRP) and aims to produce practical results that reduce risk to astronauts and improve the safety and effectiveness of human spaceflight.
Who is issuing this opportunity?
NASA Johnson Space Center is issuing this appendix as part of the broader HERO NRA (80JSC024NA001) within NASA's Human Research Program context.
What is the main purpose of this appendix?
The purpose is to support applied, near-term investigations that address human health and performance risks and research gaps relevant to human spaceflight, with an emphasis on practical outcomes that can help reduce astronaut risk and improve mission safety and effectiveness.
What type of research is NASA looking for under this opportunity?
NASA is seeking one-year (or shorter) investigations that use innovative approaches to address specific HRP human health and performance risks and research gaps. Projects are expected to connect clearly to issues affecting humans in space such as health, physiology, behavioral health, performance, and operational concerns.
How should applicants align their projects with NASA HRP needs?
Applicants are expected to tie their proposed work to HRP-identified risks and gaps documented in the HRP Integrated Research Plan, which is maintained on the Human Research Roadmap website at https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov.
Can proposals be submitted if they do not map neatly to an existing HRP risk statement?
