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.
2025 Postdoctoral Fellowship
** Note: This is the last postdoctoral fellowship solicitation of the TRISH cooperative agreement. **
TRISH is seeking proposals for its 2025 postdoctoral research program, which supports early career scientists pursuing research with the potential to reduce the human health risks associated with spaceflight. Selected TRISH postdoctoral fellows lead their own two-year research projects.
Selected TRISH postdoctoral fellows lead their own two-year research projects. The fellows also receive a two-year stipend and work with a mentor.
Proposers must include an identified mentor with their submitted research proposal. Funds to support the research, apart from the awardee's salary, must be supplied by the mentor. Independent investigators with existing research grant support may request to be listed as prospective mentors for this program. To be added as a prospective mentor open to working with a proposer, please contact Dr. Guillaume Vignaux. TRISH encourages qualified candidates to apply, even if new to space health research.
Selected fellows will also have the opportunity to participate in the Institute’s Academy of Bioastronautics, a program that gathers current TRISH postdoctoral fellows and allows for discussion, presentations and networkin
The Catalyst Grants Program
** Funds are fully obligated. TRISH will continue to accept and screen any Step-1 proposals. We may invite Step-2 proposals but these proposals are at risk as a result of budget availability. **
TRISH is accepting Catalyst proposals. The Catalyst Program on the TRISH GRID submission site has transitioned from a single step, full proposal submission process to a two-step procedure with submission of a Step-1 proposal and if invited, a subsequent Step-2 proposal. This change enables proposers to submit a more simplified initial application due to fewer proposal requirements at the Step-1 stage and reduce the barrier toward proposing an idea.
The Catalyst Grants Program offers a streamlined method for carrying out proof-of-concept projects, directed technology development(s) for space health that address a critical need(s), maturation of promising concepts with strong preliminary findings, and innovative projects that present opportunities outside of regularly scheduled solicitation cycles. Proposers can apply for Catalyst Tier 1 or Tier 2 projects. Please note that TRISH is currently prioritizing Tier 1 and one-year projects.
The Catalyst Grants Program is a continuous open call for proposals.
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.
