The NSBRI - National Space Biomedical Research Institute through NASA NCC 9-58

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 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.
