The research will leverage transcriptomic and...
- This $306,409 federal grant award to North Carolina State University (NC State) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for a research project examining the transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms that regulate early seedling development in plants grown in the space environment. The project aims to understand how plants sense and adapt to changes in their environment, including the unique stresses encountered during space flight and microgravity. This work...
- This is a $273,707.50 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Wisconsin System for a research project investigating the effects of low-speed clinorotation on the root growth behavior of the plant Brachypodium distachyon. The project aims to develop high-throughput imaging techniques to study auxin distribution and signaling in the plant roots under simulated microgravity conditions, as well as use genome-wide...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $299,996.00 grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research aimed at using transcriptomic analyses to determine the gravity-sensitive molecular pathways important for organogenesis. This research aligns with NASA's Space Biology Plan to investigate the effect of the space environment on life and addresses how microgravity impacts tissue morphogenesis and stem cell differentiation....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $298,974.04 grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, operating as Research and Sponsored Programs under the University of Wisconsin System, to conduct research on the effects of altered gravity on nuclear morphology and cytoskeletal organization in fibroblasts during parabolic flight. The research will involve culturing cells in specialized hardware to control temperature and humidity, fixing the cells at different...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $198,354.38 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This university-led project aims to systematically characterize changes in microbial cell growth dynamics, aggregation, drug resistance, and virulence across simulated micro-, lunar (1/6 g), and Martian (1/3 g) gravity environments. The research will utilize spaceflight...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Noble Research Institute LLC, doing business as the Noble Foundation, a non-profit organization. The $167,362.96 grant is for research to study how plants respond to microgravity conditions, with the goal of enabling the use of plants in long-duration space exploration. The research focuses on understanding how the plant cytoskeleton and cell wall composition regulate root growth directionality in true and simulated microgravity environments. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the period of performance is from August 22, 2018 to March 31, 2021. This research aligns with NASA's Space Biology Science Plan and aims to provide knowledge that will guide the development of plant cultivars better adapted to microgravity for future space colonies and to address agricultural challenges on Earth.
