For this solicitation, NASA and NSBRI are placing special emphasis on the high priority research area of Visual Impairment and Intracranial Pressure.

Proposals are solicited by NASA in the areas of Visual Acuity and Ocular Structure and Function; Fluid Distribution; Team Social, Technical, and Task Roles; and Effects of Constrained, Asynchronous Communication on Operational Tasks.

Short-term investigations or technologies that provide innovative approaches to any of the defined risks contained in the Integrated Research Plan (http://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov ) of the Human Research Program are also being solicited by NASA.

In addition, proposals are solicited by the NSBRI in the areas of Microgravity-Induced Visual Alterations/Intracranial Pressure, Cardiovascular Alterations, Human Factors and Performance, Musculoskeletal Alterations, Neurobehavioral and Psychosocial Factors, Sensorimotor Adaptation, and Smart Medical Systems and Technology.

Proposals responding to the NASA emphases and NSBRI emphases must be submitted separately, and will result in separate evaluations and awards.

Step-1 proposals are due on September 22, 2011, and invited Step-2 proposals are due on December 19, 201 1. Proposals are required to be submitted electronically and must be submitted by an authorized official of the proposing organization.
