Task Book: Biological & Physical Sciences Division and Human Research Program is an online database of research projects supported by the Space Biology and Physical Sciences research areas within the Biological & Physical Sciences (BPS) Division of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, and the Human Research Program in NASA's Human Exploration and Operations (HEO) Mission Directorate. Research projects within the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) are included, beginning with FY2017 projects. The database also includes research projects of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI), all completed by May 2017.

Database information includes project descriptions, annual or final research results, Earth benefits and research impacts, and listings of publications resulting from the NASA-funded research.

Formerly the Space Life & Physical Sciences Research & Applications (SLPSRA) Division Task Book, the Space Biology and Physical Sciences programs transferred to the Science Mission Directorate in July 2020.

Our three investigations (a-c) leverage flight-certified hardware and apply cutting edge techniques to enumerate and characterize antibiotic resistant organisms on the International Space Station (ISS), address critical knowledge gaps with regard to enterococci, and inform countermeasure development... Using mice that received whole-body space radiation at astronaut-age, Eisch Lab members of Team NASA have found improved pattern separation in both aversive and appetitive tasks, including performance on a touchscreen task for location discrimination (LD).
