The NASA Human Research Program is launching a new kind of challenge — one that needs your expertise in data science, biostatistics, and research methodology to help unlock the science of deep space exploration.
For the first time in more than fifty years, NASA is sending a crew beyond low Earth orbit. The Artemis II mission will carry four astronauts into deep space, generating a dataset that is unlike anything collected in modern human spaceflight research. The NASA Human Research Program needs your help to get the most out of it.
The HRP Data Methodology Challenge Series launches soon. Pre-registration opens March 23, 2026. Sign up below to be notified when registration opens and to receive updates on challenge details, proxy data availability, and key dates.
This challenge is administered under the America COMPETES Act and is open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and qualifying entities. A total prize pool of $25,000 will be awarded across 15 winners.
