- 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 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...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research. The $295,471.13 grant is for research to investigate whether plants generate calcium ion (Ca2+) signals during changes in gravity levels, which could be triggered by the plant's gravity sensing machinery or stress response systems. The grant does not have any set-aside designations. As a public land-grant research university,...
- The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $599,967 research grant effective January 1, 2022, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. This civilian agency grant, issued without set-aside designation, supports research investigating how microgravity environments affect plant disease resistance and development. The work directly addresses space-faring nations' strategic objective of leveraging small plant-growth payloads in microgravity to establish the...
- 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 grant, valued at $248,071.74, is for a research project titled "From the Perspective of the Target, a Cis-Regulatory Perspective on the Effects of Microgravity." The project aims to utilize the NASA GeneLab data repository to identify mechanisms regulating plant responses to...
- 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 federal contract award, valued at $1,008,973.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to develop operational concepts and deployment tests for conducting genomics and gene expression analyses aboard suborbital flights. The project will perform the first human-tended, suborbital whole genome gene expression experiments using plants as the test organisms and the Kennedy Space Center Fixation Tubes (KFTS) for safety...
- This is a $139,986.55 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on the influence of microorganisms on the growth and protection of salad crops under conditions similar to the International Space Station (ISS). The objective is to develop a refined understanding of the plant microbiome of salad crops grown in plant growth chambers under previously used ISS growth conditions, and...
- The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $749,056 research grant by a Civilian agency operating under the Shared Services Center on December 3, 2020. The grant supports research into the alteration of Bacillus subtilis DNA architecture in space, with a focus on global effects on DNA supercoiling, methylation, and the transcriptome. Work will be performed in Gainesville, Florida, with an ultimate completion date of May 2, 2026. This award was not set aside and...
- This is a $99,567.45 grant award to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on plant-microbial interactions in space. The award is part of NASA's scientific research programs and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Florida is a major research institution with extensive federal research and development capabilities, particularly in areas like advanced materials, defense technologies,...
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 sequencing and RNA sequencing of Arabidopsis plants grown over multiple generations, both on the ISS and on Earth. The goal is to elucidate the role of epigenetics in plant adaptation to the spaceflight environment and identify genetic elements that could improve the performance of plants used in life support systems for space exploration. This is a fundamental research grant without any set-aside designation.
