- This federal contract award, valued at $200,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University under a Cooperative Agreement. The objective is to conduct research on the mechanisms driving skeletal muscle atrophy in astronauts during extended spaceflight. The team, composed of undergraduate students from The Ohio State University and Emory University, will design, build, and test hardware to fly miniaturized tissue-engineered skeletal...
- This federal contract award, valued at $331,400.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University (OSU) to develop a "RESCUE REAL TIME, WEARABLE SYSTEM FOR TRACKING MUSCLE GEOMETRY". The purpose of this grant-funded research project is to monitor, understand, and mitigate the rapid muscle atrophy that occurs during spaceflight, which is critical for preserving human health and extending the duration of manned space missions. OSU is a prominent public research...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center awarded a $541,866.90 firm fixed price delivery order contract to the University of Colorado Boulder to develop tissue engineered muscle in microgravity as a novel platform to study sarcopenia. The University of Colorado will conduct this research under the NASA contract without a set-aside designation. The period of performance is through December 31, 2021 to analyze the effects of microgravity on muscle atrophy and...
- This is a $899,994.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research on the effects of microgravity on skeletal muscle. The research aims to understand how skeletal muscle adapts to the mechanical unloading experienced in microgravity environments, which can lead to muscle atrophy, weakness, and increased risk of injury upon return to a gravitational environment. This research is critical to support the health and...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K1261, was granted by the Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University (OSU) for research related to "Ensuring Long-Term Physical Health of Astronauts." The $296,254.00 grant is intended to develop technologies to screen, diagnose, and treat medical conditions in space, which is critical for maintaining optimal astronaut performance throughout missions. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a prominent public research...
- This federal contract award is a $194,732 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University for "ON THE MODELING OF SUBDUCTION ZONE DYNAMICS JOINTLY BY GRACE AND GPS OBSERVATIONS". The award has an ultimate completion date of August 4, 2026. The Ohio State University is conducting this research as the prime contractor, and the contract does not have a set-aside designation. Through past federal...
- This federal contract award to the University of Houston System, a state higher education institution, involves a grant for research to characterize changes in leg muscle strength and performance during long-duration spaceflight. The proposed experiment aims to address knowledge gaps related to the risks of reduced muscle mass, strength, and endurance for human space travelers, as identified by the NASA Integrated Research Plan. The $583,926.53 grant, awarded by the NASA Shared Services...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) to study the impact of spaceflight on non-shivering thermogenesis and bone metabolism in mice. The $148,702.00 grant will fund research to test the hypothesis that spaceflight compromises the ability of mice to employ strategies to maintain body heat, leading to increased dependence on non-shivering thermogenesis and associated bone loss. The objective is to measure...
- This federal contract award, valued at $41,055.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ohio University, a public university in Athens, Ohio. The contract is for research on the effect of different genetic mutations and pharmacologic interventions on transcriptional responses to spaceflight in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. The contract has a performance period through June 30, 2025. Ohio University has a history of providing research and...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC24K0981, is a $963,000.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Ohio State University. The grant is not set aside and has an ultimate completion date of August 14, 2026. The Ohio State University, a public research university, will be conducting research as the prime contractor on this award. This grant appears to be an earmark, which are funds designated by Congress for a...
This federal contract award, valued at $94,694.68, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University to conduct ground-based studies on tissue-engineered skeletal muscle models. The objective is to better understand the mechanisms driving muscle atrophy during spaceflight, with the goal of developing countermeasures. This award supports the development of miniaturized, functional muscle constructs that can be used to simulate microgravity conditions and evaluate the effects on muscle physiology. The research aims to establish an efficient, high-throughput in vitro model for studying microgravity-induced skeletal muscle atrophy, which is a significant concern for astronauts during extended space missions. This contract is not associated with a set-aside designation.
