Quotes

A select group of HUNCH students presented their projects during the poster sessions at the 2025 Human Research Program (HRP) Investigators' Workshop (IWS). Over 1,500 attendees had the opportunity to interact with the students and learn more about their HRP-relevant studies. Attendees praised the high-quality of the presentations and great interactions with the students. The IWS Steering Committee thought the HUNCH students were such a highlight, that they plan to invite them to return each year an in-person HRP IWS is held.

Do the videos on Research and Designing a Prototype apply to this Biomed program

Yes, although the video mentions design and prototype the concepts and information is the same for the Biomedical Engineering Program

Do I have to use the student project template?

You do not have to use the student project template and can be used as a guide for the Design Process of your project.

Will I be able to present my project at the HRP IWS conference in Galveston January 2027?

I will be looking for projects that have prototypes and have made excellent progress at the PDRs across the country. I will select 36 teams that will be invited to come to the conference and share their projects with NASA and Global scientists, researchers, doctors and engineers.
