NASA's Administrator and the NIH Director must jointly set up a working group. It coordinates biomedical research on how low gravity affects diseases. The group holds yearly symposia and reports to Congress every year.
(a) Establishment: NASA's Administrator* and the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) must jointly create a working group. Its job is to coordinate biomedical research in areas where microgravity -- the very low gravity of space -- might help scientists understand or treat diseases and other medical conditions. The group must design joint, complementary research programs in those areas.
(b) Membership: The group must have equal numbers of members from NASA and NIH. It must also include people chosen by the NIH Director from NIH's advisory councils, and people from NASA's own Advisory Council.
(c) Annual Biomedical Research Symposia: The group must organize a yearly symposium on this biomedical research, jointly sponsored by NASA and NIH.
(d) Annual Reporting Requirement: The group must report to Congress every year on its progress.
The Administrator* and the Director of the National Institutes of Health shall jointly establish a working group to coordinate biomedical research activities in areas where a microgravity environment may contribute to significant progress in the understanding and treatment of diseases and other medical conditions. The joint working group shall formulate joint and complementary programs in such areas of research.
The joint working group shall include equal representation from the Administration* and the National Institutes of Health, and shall include representation from National Institutes of Health councils, as selected by the Director of the National Institutes of Health, and from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Advisory Council.
The joint working group shall organize annual symposia on biomedical research described in subsection (a) under the joint sponsorship of the Administration and the National Institutes of Health.
The joint working group shall report annually to Congress on its progress in carrying out this section.
