The goal of this NASA and National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI) research program is to investigate questions of astronaut health and performance on future space exploration missions.

The goal of the Human Research Program is to provide knowledge and technologies to improve human health during space exploration as well as possible countermeasures for problems. Goals include the successful completion of exploration missions and preservation of astronauts' health throughout their lives. The program quantifies crew health and performance risks during spaceflight and develops strategies that mission planners and system developers can use to monitor and mitigate health risks.

National Space Biomedical Research Institute is working on countermeasures to the health-related problems and physical and psychological challenges men and women will face on long-duration missions. The research consortium's primary objective is to ensure safe and productive human spaceflight.
