This federal contract award with ID 80ARC023CA007 was issued by the Ames Research Center (ARC), a civilian agency of the U.S. government, to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university. The $1,105,098 firm fixed-price contract aims to study the effects of spaceflight on cell and tissue dysfunction along the brain-liver-gut axis, and determine the role of these perturbations in accelerating tissue degeneration associated with aging.

The original solicitation was a multi-agency research announcement from NASA, NIH, HHS BARDA, and FDA seeking proposals to develop 3D tissues and microphysiological systems with extended longevity of at least six months to model acute and chronic exposures to stressors. Awards of up to $2 million over four years were anticipated, with no set-aside designation specified. As a subcontractor, The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university, will support the contract through specialized research services.
