Summary:"The Committee on NASA's Research on Human Health Risks [was established] to examine NASA's plans to assemble the available evidence on human health risks of spaceflight and to move forward in identifying and addressing gaps in research. The body of this letter report provides the committee's findings and recommendations regarding NASA's compilation of the available evidence into reviews, or evidence books, as well as NASA's risk identification and assessment process. Overall, the committee believes NASA has developed a thorough and well-conceived framework for documenting the evidence base, establishing research priorities, and integrating research findings into occupational health and safety measures for the space crew"--Page 1.
