Ocular Imaging Data Analysis – Electroretinography (ERG)

The contract seeks expertise in quantitative analysis of pattern electroretinogram datasets to measure Photic Negative Response amplitudes, aiming to evaluate changes in retinal function tied to Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome. This work is critical for understanding how prolonged exposure to spaceflight impacts ocular physiology, particularly through objective electrophysiological metrics derived from pERG data. The analysis will support NASA’s broader efforts to monitor and mitigate visual and neurological alterations in astronauts during and after missions. The task is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 541715, focusing on research and development in physical, engineering, and life sciences. Performance is designated for Houston, Texas, with a tight response window closing on July 23, 2026. While no set-aside classification or point of contact is specified, the work falls directly under NASA’s mission to advance human health in space environments and requires precise, high-quality data interpretation to contribute meaningful insights into SANS pathophysiology.
