- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,723 grant to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) on April 10, 2018 to conduct research on the effects of artificial gravity on neuroplasticity and behavioral health during long-duration spaceflight. The overarching goal is to quantify the impact of different intermittent artificial gravity protocols on cortical neuroplasticity, neural control of the cardiovascular system, and spatial cognition during 60-day...
- This $4,088,467.35 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, is a grant for research focused on optimizing human performance, adaptability, and resiliency for long-duration space exploration missions. The research leverages the NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework to identify biological and behavioral factors that predict astronaut performance and well-being in simulated spaceflight conditions....
- The University of Pennsylvania was awarded a $2.47 million grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to conduct a seven-year international research initiative in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and European Space Agency (ESA). The project addresses critical Human Research Program risks related to adverse cognitive and behavioral conditions during extended space missions, with a specific focus on NASA's Integrated One-Year Mission Project aboard the...
- The University of Pennsylvania received a $946,000 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center for the Mars Adaptive Training Integrative Knowledge System (MATRIKS) program. This research initiative, awarded on December 17, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025, focuses on improving operational performance and understanding the neural basis for spaceflight during future long-duration space expeditions. The work will be conducted at the...
- This is a $1,049,939.41 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University) to conduct research on technologies for the asynchronous delivery of psychotherapeutic techniques to astronauts during long-duration space missions. The project aims to address the challenges of providing real-time mental health support to astronauts who may experience behavioral health issues in extreme...
- This $750,000.00 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports research on the effects of weightlessness and radiation exposure on telomere length in skeletal muscle atrophy, which has relevance to the health of astronauts during space exploration missions. The research aims to define the underlying molecular...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Anacapa Sciences, Inc., a for-profit organization, to conduct research on the skills and knowledge required for successful crew performance in exploration missions. The $105,225.23 grant-funded project aims to identify the physical, cognitive, and social abilities necessary for different crew specialties, and to recommend optimal training strategies. The research will provide a comprehensive inventory of...
- This is a $785,218.56 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for a research project titled "PROBING THE SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF RADIATION, ALTERED GRAVITY AND STRESS ON BEHAVIORAL COGNITIVE AND SENSORIMOTOR FUNCTIONS TO PREDICT PERFORMANCE DECREMENT IN ASTRONAUTS". The research aims to study how the combined factors of radiation, altered gravity, and stress impact the behavioral,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,807,297.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Thomas Jefferson University, doing business as Sidney Kimmel Medical College, a private non-profit academic medical center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The contract is for a research project to evaluate the neurobehavioral effects of a dynamic lighting system on International Space Station (ISS) crew members. The research aims to test the efficacy of solid-state...
- This is a $101,612.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University. The objective of the research is to identify personality, behavioral, and neurophysiological predictors of resilience among a population of high-achieving adults in highly demanding training programs, such as medical and research lab trainees. The grant supports a 5-month longitudinal study to...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $2,316,596.33 cooperative agreement to the University of Pennsylvania to develop a standardized suite of behavioral health measurement tools for use in spaceflight research and ground-based analogs. The goal is to rapidly and reliably assess the risk of adverse behavioral conditions and psychiatric outcomes for exploration-class missions to Mars and other long-duration, isolated environments. The tools will be integrated on an iPad platform and include measures of cognition, fatigue, stress, and sleep quality. The suite will be evaluated for inclusion in post-mission assessments with participants in NASA analog studies and on the International Space Station. This contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting the University of Pennsylvania's status as a large research institution. The work will leverage Penn's extensive expertise in biomedical sciences, engineering, and clinical research to support NASA's human spaceflight objectives.
