The NASA Task Book ("Task Book" or "TB") is an online database of research projects supported by NASA's Biological & Physical Sciences (BPS) Division and Human Research Program (HRP). The Task Book database also covers completed BPS projects in the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), as well as HRP projects within the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) since October 2017, and completed investigations under the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI).

Visitors to the NASA Task Book can view project descriptions, annual progress, final reports, and bibliographical listings of publications resulting from NASA-funded studies in Space Biology, Physical Sciences, and Human Research. Visitors can also learn about the potential impact of these studies and the anticipated benefits that such research could offer to Earth.
