- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project. The $194,617.59 grant will fund research to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens in the International Space Station (ISS) habitat and correlate their presence with crew health. The project aims to catalog viruses and...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a private non-profit organization, to conduct a study on how microbial communities are established, function, and respond to changes in indoor environments. The $149,398.87 grant is part of NASA's "Microbiomes of the Built Environment: From Research to Application" program and will support an ad hoc committee appointed by NAS to assess...
- This federal contract award is for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project, which will generate microbial censuses of the International Space Station (ISS) using culture-based methods and molecular techniques. The objectives are to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens and correlate their presence with crew health. The $613,747.36 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space...
- This is a $1,148,591 grant awarded by NASA to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, to study the effects of altered gravity on microbial biofilm formation. The research aims to develop improved methods for microbiological monitoring and contamination control on long-duration human space missions, which is crucial for crew health and safety. The contract supports testing three model microbial systems - E. coli, a Staphylococcus sp....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $198,354.38 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This university-led project aims to systematically characterize changes in microbial cell growth dynamics, aggregation, drug resistance, and virulence across simulated micro-, lunar (1/6 g), and Martian (1/3 g) gravity environments. The research will utilize spaceflight...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) to characterize microorganisms from the International Space Station (ISS) that can assist in the decomposition of complex organic matter during spaceflight. The key objectives are to identify ISS microbial species that can degrade plant matter, genetically engineer mutants of those microbes to improve their efficiency, and examine their protein profiles and gene...
- Arizona State University (ASU), through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration, received a $1.12M research grant from a civilian federal agency to conduct a two-aim investigation into how spaceflight analogue culture conditions affect microbial pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions. Aim 1 focuses on characterizing microbial stress responses and pathogen colonization in three-dimensional tissue co-culture models containing immune cells exposed to spaceflight analogue...
- This is a $684,806.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ohio University. The grant is focused on understanding how plants respond to the spaceflight environment, with the goal of enabling plants to thrive in potentially hostile environments during long-distance space missions and colonization efforts. The research will combine expertise and resources from two principal investigators to generate multi-omics datasets and provide a comprehensive...
- This federal contract award was granted to Arizona State University (ASU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the impact of spaceflight on host-microbiome interactions and pathogen infection. The $498,913.08 grant will fund the development of a three-dimensional intestinal co-culture model containing immune cells, which will be populated with astronaut fecal microbiota to assess its influence on Salmonella infection under microgravity analogue...
- This is a $123,704.06 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia Tech Research Corp), doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The contract aims to acquire data and develop methods to study the abundance and speciation of microorganisms in the mid-to-upper troposphere. It will evaluate portable optical technologies to detect and monitor the abundance of microbial cells in air...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $249,998 grant to The Ohio State University to conduct research on predicting moisture-related changes to the indoor microbiome and astronaut exposure aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The objective is to develop improved microbial clearance protocols that are more relevant to astronaut health, planetary protection, and spacecraft integrity. This research project builds upon previous microbial monitoring efforts aboard the ISS and will use a chamber study to observe fundamental microbial processes that may occur under increased moisture conditions in occupied spacecraft. There is no set-aside designation for this contract, which has a completion date of January 30, 2023.
