2018 NASA Human Research Program Investigators' Workshop HRP Research: The Gateway to Mars
NASA's Human Research Program (HRP) hosted its annual Investigators’ Workshop (IWS) in Galveston, Texas, Jan. 22-25, 2018. This is the primary venue for reporting progress and results in HRP-funded research and technology tasks to HRP Program Management, with the additional benefit of permitting cross-discipline interactions among the full spectrum of investigators.
The theme of this year’s meeting was “HRP Research: The Gateway to Mars.” Despite government shutdown challenges, the IWS was a large success with 1,162 registrants and 884 attendees and 420 presentations (141 oral and 279 posters).
In collaboration with NASA, the Translational Research Institute for Space Health live streamed and recorded the plenary sessions. They are available below.
