- 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...
- North Carolina State University received a grant award valued at $303,770.14 from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on plant biology in space environments. The research project, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, focuses on examining transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that control early seedling development in microgravity conditions. The study builds upon previous flight experiments and investigates the role of small regulatory RNA molecules...
- North Carolina State University received a $93,601.95 research grant from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) awarded on December 8, 2022, to investigate how elevated carbon dioxide levels affect plant physiology and nutritional content in edible microgreens. The research will examine three distinct photosynthetic mechanisms—C3, C4, and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)—to determine which mechanisms provide advantages for enhancing plant productivity in space environments. By...
- 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...
- North Carolina State University has been awarded a $298,562 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to examine how the interaction between the circadian clock and gravity is affected under simulated microgravity conditions. Utilizing the Random Positioning Machine, the prime contractor will analyze gravity responses in Arabidopsis plants to support a connection between plant gravity sensing, circadian clock responses, and overall fitness. The sole-source...
- 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 federal grant award to North Carolina State University (NC State), a prominent 1862 Land Grant institution, to execute a balanced science program. The award, valued at $114,317, is funded by a civilian federal agency and has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2025. The grant requires NC State to participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. It also tasks...
- This is a $556,700.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) for the "SOWTIME: CLIMATE ADAPTIVE AGRICULTURE IN THE EASTERN GANGETIC PLAINS" project. The grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. NC State is a leading public research university that frequently collaborates with federal agencies as a prime contractor and grantee, providing research, technical assistance, and...
- 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 federal contract award, valued at $210,801.45, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) to support the Seedling Growth (SG) series of plant biology experiments on the International Space Station (ISS). The SG experiments are part of a barter agreement between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) and aim to study the effects of gravity and light on plant growth and development, as well as cellular...
