NSBRI Internships on Earth Benefits of Space Research

Program Overview

NSBRI, funded by NASA, is a consortium of institutions studying the health risks related to long-duration spaceflight. Research findings will also impact the understanding and treatment of similar medical conditions experienced on Earth. The Institute’s science, technology and education projects take place at more than 60 institutions across the United States.

NSBRI is offering internships at NASA to introduce the health concerns associated with long stays in space. The program offers undergraduate, graduate and medical students the opportunity to work under the guidance of scientists and physicians at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston and NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland.
