The Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) released a Request for Applications soliciting proposals for the TRISH Postdoctoral Fellowship Program on August 21, 2024. The call is available online here and on the TRISH website.
TRISH at Baylor College of Medicine, with consortium partners California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is seeking exceptional proposals from postdoctoral fellows ready to help solve the challenges of space exploration. TRISH’s postdoctoral fellowship program supports early-career scientists pursuing innovative, breakthrough research with the potential to reduce spaceflight-associated health risks and improve astronaut performance. Selected fellows will participate in TRISH’s Academy of Bioastronautics. They will receive a stipend for salary support for two years, with a chance for a third year of funding. The fellowship is a launchpad for researchers applying their work to space health and to benefit all on Earth.
Proposers should anticipate starting their project in August 2025 and no later than November 1, 2025. Applicants that require visas with their sponsoring institution may also apply provided that a valid visa is obtained before the project start date and no later than October 31, 2025. Applicants must submit research proposals together with an identified mentor and institution. Funds to support the research must be supplied by the mentor. Independent investigators with existing research grant support may request to be publicly listed as possible mentors for this program by contacting Guillaume Vignaux at gvignaux@nasaprs.com.
Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Every organization that intends to submit a proposal in response to this solicitation must be registered with NSPIRES, and such registration must identify the authorized organizational representative(s) who will submit electronic proposals. Full proposals submitted through https://nspires.nasaprs.com will be due on December 18, 2024.
