A cohort intervention to boost space health grant funding success for researchers from historically minoritized groups: 2022-2023.
Article in NPJ microgravity, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper reports research that was completed prior to FL SB 266 or TX SB 17 going into effect. Human space travel has been rapidly expanding, including new nations, private companies, and ambitious goals such as returning to the Moon and traveling to Mars. These developments bring novel challenges for human health in space, requiring innovative solutions. A diverse research community drives such innovation, yet women and minoritized individuals remain underrepresented and underfunded in the space health research field. In a partnership program with our sponsor, we established a novel equity-based cohort program for underrepresented postdoctoral fellows, faculty, and entrepreneurs to address barriers to success in applying for and receiving space health funding. The cohort-based intervention included four main elements: (1) recruitment of mentees (n = 46) and mentors (n > 50), (2) education of mentees on space health research priorities, (3) connection of mentees with the broader space health community, and (4) development of a trustworthy network of subject matter expert mentors. The program ran for 18 months and resulted in 57 submitted space biomedical research proposals by the program's end, and a total of 106 proposals within 18 months post-program. These results demonstrate that an equity-focused, cohort-based approach can effectively enhance funding success, community engagement, and long-term mentorship in space health research, providing a scalable model for other STEM disciplines.
