This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) for the "Ring-Sheared Drop (RSD)" project. The RSD technology was originally developed to study the formation of amyloid fibrils, which are associated with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The grant, worth $76,599.00, supports the construction of an RSD module for deployment aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in 2019 to conduct microgravity experiments on liquid systems. This grant does not utilize a set-aside designation. RPI is a private research university that specializes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, and has a significant portfolio of federal contract and grant awards across various government agencies, including the Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and National Institutes of Health.
