Current and On-going Solicitations
The Translational Research Institute for Space Health offers multiple funding mechanisms with variable solicitation methods, funding amounts, durations and review cycles. TRISH's research priorities include commercial space health research (EXPAND), medical system architecture (HERMES) and tissues-chips (SENTINEL). View our current solicitations below.
The Catalyst Grants Program
TRISH's Catalyst Grant Program offers a streamlined method for carrying out proof-of-concept projects, directed technology developments that address critical needs in space health, maturation of promising concepts with strong preliminary findings, and innovative projects that present opportunities outside of regularly scheduled solicitation cycles. Any project that addresses the NASA Human Research Roadmap (HRR) and the TRISH initiatives may be proposed.
TRISH has announced new Catalyst Grants Program topics for Fall 2025. TRISH has identified topic areas of higher interest. At this time, TRISH discourages projects that fall outside the Catalyst Priority Topics listed in the solicitation (see section D). Learn more about the topics by reading the full solicitation.
Nov. 18, 2025 is the next deadline for Catalyst Step-1 proposals.
**Applicants should be aware of the risk that all funding is subject to the availability of funds provided to TRISH by NASA. Accordingly, the disbursement of any awards under this solicitation is not guaranteed and may be delayed, reduced, or canceled in the event of changes to NASA’s budgetary allocations.
International Collaborations
As a federally funded institute, TRISH supports research projects led by investigators currently at U.S.-based institutions. However, to foster an environment for collaboration, TRISH encourages international investigators and organizations to connect by adding themselves to our Researchers Open to Collaboration document. There, you can find potential collaborators as well as add your name, institution and contact information for other potential collaborations with the wider space biomedical community.
