This $949,055.36 research grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of weightlessness on the human body. The purpose is to examine how simulated microgravity impacts the structure and function of various organ systems, including the cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, musculoskeletal, visual, and neural systems. The research will use a rat model to contrast the adaptations induced by head-ward fluid shifts versus full or partial...
This is a $99,852 research grant awarded by NASA to Florida State University (FSU) for a study on the adaptations of the venous circulation in the human body to simulated microgravity, lunar gravity, and Martian gravity conditions. The grant aims to increase knowledge of cardiovascular function and potential health risks for astronauts in deep space missions, including the planned Artemis missions to the Moon, which will send the first female astronaut. The study will investigate functional,...
This federal contract award, valued at $913,566.31, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of microgravity on cerebral arterial, venous, and lymphatic function. The research aims to understand the implications for increased intracranial pressure and potential visual acuity impairment in astronauts during spaceflight. The contract, which does not utilize a set-aside, supports a 13-day spaceflight study on mice...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $199,408.00 grant for research to Florida State University's Sponsored Research Administration Division. The grant, entitled "SINGLE SOURCE, RODENT RESEARCH STANDARD HOUSING MISSION: MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING SPACEFLIGHT RESPONSES", is for a research project with a performance period ending on February 6, 2025. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Florida State...
This is a $364,999 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) for research on the impacts of low-dose radiation exposure on cardiovascular health. The grant, which does not utilize a set-aside, supports a project titled "EMERGING RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT LOW-DOSE ENVIRONMENTAL AND MEDICAL RADIATION EXPOSURE INCREASES THE RISK OF MORTALITY DUE TO ISCHEMIC CORONARY ARTERY (HEART ATTACK) AND...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,000 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research on the effects of simulated microgravity on the anti-tumor activity of human natural killer (NK) cells and gamma-delta T (GD-T) cells in a humanized mouse model. The goal is to determine if impaired immune system function during long-duration spaceflight could increase cancer and viral infection risks for exploration...
This $179,871.47 federal grant award to Texas A&M University was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the effects of space radiation and microgravity on the cardiovascular system. The research aims to understand how space flight imposes unique stressors on astronauts, particularly the damage and fibrosis that can occur in the heart and vasculature due to radiation exposure. The grant will fund a series of mouse studies using X-ray, heavy ion, and...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Arizona State University, with a potential value of $145,530.00. The grant is for research related to the cumulative impact of microgravity and radiation on host-pathogen interactions and infectious disease risks in the spaceflight environment. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Arizona State University is the prime contractor, and the award is being administered through...
This is a $40,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Imec USA Nanoelectronics Design Center, Inc., a non-profit research organization. The grant covers three research projects focused on studying the effects of microgravity on ophthalmic complications, cerebrospinal fluid production, and intracranial pressure, all of which are relevant to crew health and performance during space exploration missions. The projects were awarded in response to separate...
The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $150,000.00 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project titled "DYNAMICS OF THE ANIMAL INNATE IMMUNE RESPONSE ACROSS A GRAVITY CONTINUUM". The contract, which has no set-aside designation, will support research to examine the effects of different gravity environments on the animal immune system. As a major research institution, UF has extensive capabilities in...

This is a $140,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research on the effects of long-term exposure to the microgravity environment on the cardiovascular and immune systems of astronauts. The research will utilize the hindlimb-unloading rodent model to simulate microgravity conditions and investigate changes in circulatory function, immune system responses, and the potential therapeutic effects of the anti-inflammatory agent irisin. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms by which the immune system and cardiovascular system adapt to spaceflight, with the intent of developing countermeasures to improve astronaut health and wellbeing. This grant-funded research supports NASA's space biology goals and aims to contribute knowledge that can benefit both human space exploration and biomedical applications on Earth. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
