Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Human Research Program is seeking information on domestic head-down tilt bedrest research capabilities in the United States to support human spaceflight research. Selected facilities must be capable of conducting six-degree strict head-down tilt bedrest studies lasting up to 90 consecutive days (typically 30 to 60 days), accommodating four to twelve participants per study and providing comprehensive services including medical monitoring, clinical care, metabolic kitchen management, protocol enforcement, and participant reconditioning. NASA is seeking input on ten specific areas including facility design, recruitment/screening, resource trades, metabolic kitchen management, protocol enforcement, and specialty equipment/pharmaceutical studies to expand U.S. infrastructure and foster collaborative partnerships supporting upcoming deep-space exploration research.
