NASA establishes institute to reduce risks to humans on exploration missions

In a wake to protect the astronauts from the casualties, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is joining with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. It will operate a new institute charged with researching anddeveloping innovative approaches to reduce risks to humans on long-duration exploration missions, including NASA’s Journey to Mars.

 

Work under the Translational Research Institute Cooperative Agreement, overseen by NASA’s Human Research Program, begins in October. Translational research is an interdisciplinary model of research that focuses on translating fundamental research concepts into practice, with appreciable health outcomes. The NASA Translational Research Institute (NTRI) will implement a “bench-to-spaceflight” model, moving results or methods from laboratory experiments or clinical trials to point-of-care astronaut health and performance applications. The goal of the research is to produce promising new approaches, treatments, countermeasures or technologies that have practical application to spaceflight.

So let's do:

1. Name the Space agency, which establishes institute to reduce risks to humans on exploration missions?
