Abstract

The ReMAP committee deliberated for several months to establish, for the first time, priorities and goals for OBPR and ISS research across disciplines. ReMAP findings and recommendations rest on a large foundation of work of hundreds of scientists who worked for thousands of hours, over months and years, to prioritize research within each OBPR scientific discipline. It is noteworthy that the committee was successful, during meeting deliberations, in establishing a rationale and strategies for prioritization of the overall research program for OBPR and for ISS. The findings and recommendations in this report provide a framework for prioritizing a productive research program for NASA’s Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR) and for the International Space Station (ISS). The report identifies two overarching programmatic goals. • The first involves research enabling human exploration of space. • The second involves basic research of intrinsic scientific interest. The broad OBPR program encompasses research using the ISS, shuttle, free-flyers and ground-based capabilities. • The ISS has unique features not available on any other vehicle, including human tended, long duration (&gt;1mo) exposure to microgravity. • ReMAP prioritized work that can be done on ISS with the US Core Complete 1 configuration, • ReMAP identified enhancements to the US Core Complete configuration which will enable a science driven program of highest priority research. The context for establishing the ReMAP Task Force is multifaceted: The President’s FY2003 budget states: “This year, NASA will be working with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) to engage the scientific community and establish clear high-priority, affordable science objectives with near-term focus on improving scientific productivity. The results of this review will help set the science agenda for Biological and Physical Research that will in turn drive how the Space Station is used. It should increase the efficiency and output of research at the Station, and realign NASA’s Research and Development portfolio to reflect current priorities.”
