Opportunity Information: Apply for 80JSC019N0001 HFBP
NASA Johnson Space Center, through NASA's Human Research Program (HRP), issued a solicited research opportunity under the Human Exploration Research Opportunities (HERO) umbrella announcement. This specific call is HERO Appendix E, titled "Topics in Human Factors and Behavioral Performance" (NRA 80JSC019N0001-HFBP). The focus is applied research that directly supports HRP goals and objectives, especially as they relate to sustaining astronaut performance and effective training for future exploration missions.
The central technical topic being requested is the identification, development, and validation of a Mars Adaptive TRaining-Integrative Knowledge System (MATRIKS). In practical terms, NASA is looking for proposals that can produce and demonstrate an adaptive, integrated training and knowledge system that supports both pre-flight preparation and in-flight crew training during long-duration missions. The intent is to improve how crews learn, retain, refresh, and apply critical knowledge and skills over extended periods, in environments where time, bandwidth, cognitive load, and access to ground support may be limited. This topic is framed as a Virtual NASA Specialized Center of Research (VNSCOR), signaling that NASA expects a coordinated, center-like effort that can integrate multiple capabilities, disciplines, and deliverables rather than a narrow, single-investigator study.
Administratively, this opportunity is a discretionary funding announcement with multiple possible award instruments, including grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts. The catalog number listed is CFDA 43.003, and the maximum award amount is stated as $1,400,000, with an expectation of up to four awards. The opportunity was posted March 31, 2020, with a two-step submission process: Step-1 proposals were due April 30, 2020, and invited Step-2 proposals were due July 30, 2020. NASA also scheduled a virtual pre-proposers conference for April 15, 2020, with logistics to be posted through NSPIRES alongside the solicitation.
Eligibility is broadly open across U.S. institution types, with no restriction to a specific sector. Universities, companies, nonprofits, and government-affiliated laboratories may apply, and principal investigators are explicitly allowed to build teams that include universities, federal laboratories, private-sector partners, and state or local government labs. In collaborative structures, the submitting organization remains responsible for overall project administration and execution consistent with the management plan proposed. International participation is possible only under NASA's standard approach of cooperation without an exchange of funds, meaning non-U.S. entities can collaborate but are generally not funded directly by NASA under this call.
Applicants are directed to the HERO Appendix E documentation for the full technical scope, submission requirements, and points of contact. The solicitation and related materials were made available online through NASA's HERO pages and via NSPIRES, which is the primary portal for proposal submission and solicitation updates.Apply for 80JSC019N0001 HFBP
