Sec. 2487. Findings

-STATUTE-

The Congress finds that -

(1) the space program can make significant contributions to

selected areas of health-related research and should be an

integral part of the Nation's health research and development

program;

(2) the continuing development of trained scientists and

engineers is essential to carrying out an effective and sustained

program of biomedical research in space and on the ground;

(3) the establishment and maintenance of an electronically

accessible archive of data on space-related biomedical research

is essential to advancement of the field;

(4) cooperation with the republics of the former Soviet Union,

including use of former Soviet orbital facilities, offers the

potential for greatly enhanced biomedical research activities and

progress; and

(5) the establishment and maintenance of an international

telemedicine consultation satellite capability to support

emergency medical service provision can provide an important aid

to disaster relief efforts.

Sec. 2487a. Biomedical research joint working group

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment

The Administrator and the Director of the National Institutes of

Health shall jointly establish a working group to coordinate

biomedical research activities in areas where a microgravity

environment may contribute to significant progress in the

understanding and treatment of diseases and other medical

conditions. The joint working group shall formulate joint and

complementary programs in such areas of research.

(b) Membership

The joint working group shall include equal representation from

the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National

Institutes of Health, and shall include representation from

National Institutes of Health councils, as selected by the Director

of the National Institutes of Health, and from the National

Aeronautics and Space Administration Advisory Council.

(c) Annual reporting requirement

The joint working group shall report annually to Congress on its

progress in carrying out this section.

(d) Annual biomedical research symposia

The working group shall organize annual symposia on biomedical

research described in subsection (a) of this section under the

joint sponsorship of the National Aeronautics and Space

Administration and the National Institutes of Health.

-STATUTE-

(a) Establishment of program

The Administrator and the Director of the National Institutes of

Health shall establish a joint program of biomedical research

grants in areas described in section 2487a(a) of this title, where

such research requires access to a microgravity environment. Such

program shall be consistent with actions taken by the joint working

group under section 2487a of this title.

(b) Research opportunity announcements

The grants program established under subsection (a) of this

section shall annually issue joint research opportunity

announcements under the sponsorship of the National Institutes of

Health and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Responses to the announcements shall be evaluated by a peer review

committee whose members shall be selected by the Director of the

National Institutes of Health and the Administrator, and shall

include individuals not employed by the National Aeronautics and

Space Administration or the National Institutes of Health.
