- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $159,669.00 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in December 2018 to conduct the Venous Congestion Countermeasure Study under the Human Research Program. The study, led by Principal Investigator M. Stenger, will involve participation from two external co-investigators, including A. Hargens from UCSD. No human subject testing is allowed until the protocol is approved by NASA's Institutional Review Board. The...
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $704,576.00 Cooperative Agreement contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the use of Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) as a countermeasure for spaceflight deconditioning. This contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, supports UCSD's expertise in areas such as cognitive science, engineering, and medicine to advance knowledge and develop innovative solutions related to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $208,750.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research related to the Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS). The contract aims to investigate the effects of microgravity on human physiology, with a focus on developing countermeasures to address issues like loss of muscle and bone mass, cardiovascular deconditioning, and changes to the eye....
- This federal contract award, with an ID of NNX17AB12G, was granted to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $401,869.14 grant is designed to identify novel metabolomic biomarkers in serum and urine that can detect and monitor physiological disturbances due to bed rest, which simulates the effects of microgravity in space. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of countermeasures such as exercise or exercise with...
- NASA awarded a $940,352 grant to Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the research division of The General Hospital Corporation, on April 1, 2020, to support research on Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS), a significant medical concern for long-duration spaceflight missions. Under this non-set-aside grant with a completion deadline of March 31, 2026, MGH will develop and provide a comprehensive toolkit for detailed neurophysiological and fluid shift assessment and monitoring to...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) aims to identify novel early biomarkers in plasma and urine to detect and monitor the physiological disturbances experienced by crew members during long-duration space missions. The $192,526.15 grant-funded research project will apply targeted and untargeted metabolomics to samples collected from participants in a 30-day simulated spaceflight environment,...
- This is a $392,133.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to investigate whether 30 minutes of artificial gravity per day, delivered either continuously or in six, five-minute intermittent blocks, can mitigate changes that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The grant, which is not set aside, will fund a 60-day head-down tilt bed rest study to assess the effectiveness of the artificial gravity countermeasure on...
- This is a $202,465.13 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) for research on Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS). The grant aims to evaluate human glymphatic function in response to simulated microgravity and elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, as these factors have been proposed as potential underlying causes of SANS. The research will involve conducting glymphatics MRI imaging on human subjects in both...
- This federal award is a grant for $994,678 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), doing business as the Office of Research Administration. The grant supports research on the effects of real microgravity on human neural stem cells and oligodendrocytes, aimed at understanding the causes of increased intracranial pressure and visual impairment observed in astronauts after long-duration space missions. The research will...
- This is a $148,037.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to evaluate the mechanical properties of the dura mater (the outer layer of the meninges) in astronauts and its correlation with the severity of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The research aims to use existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and computational modeling to quantify...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $389,820.47 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to evaluate a self-generated lower body negative pressure (LBNP) device as a countermeasure against spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The self-generated LBNP device was previously developed and published by the UCSD team and is currently in use on the Chinese space station Tiangong One. This research aims to quantify the device's efficacy in preserving cerebral, ocular, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal health during simulated microgravity conditions using parabolic flights and ground-based testing. The grant supports UCSD's ongoing work studying fluid distribution before, during, and after long-duration spaceflight and leverages the Russian Chibis suit to reduce venous congestion. This research aligns with NASA's priorities to provide integrated countermeasures addressing both SANS and muscle/skeletal losses for deep space missions. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
