The
Bioethics and Transition
to Practice Division
The Bioethics
and Transition to Practice Division is responsible for the NASA policies and
practices related to the translation of health/medical research findings and
information into NASA
medical implementation, and that govern the protection of research subjects.
The Division has 2
principle functions. One is to ensure that health/medical criteria are appropriately
incorporated
into mission planning and vehicle design, and that health/medical research
products and
deliverables meet the necessary criteria before they are implemented as standard
NASA
medical practice. The other is to ensure that all NASA medical/health associated
policies and
practices adhere to the highest bioethical standards. This function includes
oversight of all
NASA activities related to the use of human and animal subjects in research,
and the Agency's
compliance with all relevant Federal Regulations.
