- This is a $249,920 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to utilize the NASA GeneLab dataset to identify novel components involved in plant gravity sensing and mechanical response mechanisms. The goal is to better understand how plants regulate their gravity sensory systems at the gene expression level to adapt to the microgravity environment of space. The research will leverage transcriptomic and...
- This is a $684,806.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ohio University. The grant is focused on understanding how plants respond to the spaceflight environment, with the goal of enabling plants to thrive in potentially hostile environments during long-distance space missions and colonization efforts. The research will combine expertise and resources from two principal investigators to generate multi-omics datasets and provide a comprehensive...
- This is a $690,435 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida to conduct research on the effects of spaceflight on plant epigenomes and gene expression. The research aims to understand how DNA methylation patterns are transmitted through plant seeds grown on the International Space Station (ISS) and whether this confers adaptive advantages to subsequent generations of plants grown in space. The research involves whole genome bisulfite...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University, an 1862 Land Grant College and educational institution located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The $330,097.68 grant is for a research project to characterize the role of two protein families that may mediate contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other organelles, and how these contacts relate to gravity sensing in plants. The research aims to understand how plants...
- 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...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research for research on how microbial cells respond to the human spaceflight environment. The $159,395.08 grant will fund a project to analyze transcriptomic data from the NASA GeneLab database to identify common molecular mechanisms used by bacteria to cope with the stresses of spaceflight, such as microgravity and ionizing radiation. The goal is to...
- This is a $2,200,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Washington State University (WSU) to conduct a multi-omics study on plant lignification and gravitational responses using the model plant Arabidopsis. The project aims to investigate how plants function in altered gravity environments through comprehensive phenomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics analyses. WSU will utilize its expertise in areas like plant biology, computational...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $139,819.93 grant to Weill Medical College of Cornell University (doing business as Joan & Sanford I Weill Medical College of Cornell University) to conduct research on spaceflight-induced gene expression changes. The grant, titled "OUR PROPOSED EXPERIMENTS WILL ENHANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SPACEFLIGHT-INDUCED GENE EXPRESSION CHANGES BY PERFORMING SINGLE-CELL RNA-SEQUENCING AND SPATIAL RNA-SEQUENCING ON MOUSE TISSUES...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $149,575.99 grant to the University of Arizona for a ground-based New Space Biology research project. The project will investigate the epigenetic effects of ionizing radiation and microgravity on gene expression related to DNA damage response and cell cycle control in human mammary epithelial cells. The research aims to better understand how the space environment can alter endocrine regulation of these cellular processes. This...
- 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...
This is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant awarded to the Noble Research Institute LLC, doing business as Noble Foundation, a non-profit organization. The grant is for $200,149.31 and aims to develop methodology to enable space genomic studies on homogenous plant cell populations. The goal is to better understand how the spaceflight environment, particularly microgravity, influences gene expression in plants, which is critical for supporting long-duration space missions. The grant involves using laser capture microdissection to conduct RNA sequencing on gravity-sensing columella cells in plant roots to identify gene regulatory networks governing early plant responses to gravity. This work will refine techniques for future plant spaceflight genomics studies and help differentiate microgravity effects from other stress responses. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on December 12, 2018, with a completion date of March 31, 2021.
