ABOUT HRP IWS

The HRP IWS is the primary venue for reporting progress and results from HRP-funded research and technology tasks to Program Management, with the additional benefit of permitting cross-discipline interaction among the full spectrum of investigators. It also provides NASA with an outreach opportunity to include abstract submissions from other external researchers who would like to become involved.

This year's fully virtual meeting spans three days: Tuesday, April 7, through Thursday, April 9, 2026. The workshop’s goal is to provide an informal, collegial atmosphere for cross-disciplinary interaction. You must be registered to attend this event virtually and to view the IWS website (livestreaming, detailed program, on-demand content, etc.). There is no registration fee for the workshop.

Scientific sessions featuring presentations by principal investigators will be organized and scheduled according to Human Research Program and related disciplines:

  • Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) (includes Space Biology)
  • Human Factors and Behavioral Performance (HFBP)
  • Human Health Countermeasures (HHC)
  • Research Operations and Integration (ROI)
  • Science Integration Office (SIO) [formerly Exploration Medical Capability (ExMC)]
  • Space Radiation (SR)
  • Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH)
  • Other
