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 is a $296,907.57 grant awarded by NASA to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University) to study the effects of microgravity and partial microgravity on bone remodeling, as well as evaluate hypergravity as a countermeasure for microgravity-induced bone loss. The objective is to understand the underlying causes of bone loss experienced by astronauts during long-duration spaceflight and develop effective countermeasures to sustain bone health, which...
This is a $1,999,998.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Indiana University, a public research university, for a project titled "Foundational In Vivo Experiments on Osteocyte Biology in Space". The purpose of the grant is to study the effects of long-term spaceflight on bone health, with a focus on understanding the biological changes in osteocytes (bone cells) and bone matrix properties that...
This is a $300,000.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to examine the effects of simulated microgravity on bone cells and bone health. The grant, which runs from July 2018 to December 2023, has two main goals: 1) to study the response of normal and genetically modified (CRISPR-edited) mouse bone cells to simulated microgravity conditions in vitro using a specialized bioreactor, and 2) to examine the impact...
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...
This $661,978 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc), a non-profit academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant will fund a research project to study the effects of partial gravity on the musculoskeletal system of adult mice during spaceflight aboard the International Space Station. The project aims to determine whether partial gravity induced by centripetal acceleration can...
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...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $298,974.04 grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, operating as Research and Sponsored Programs under the University of Wisconsin System, to conduct research on the effects of altered gravity on nuclear morphology and cytoskeletal organization in fibroblasts during parabolic flight. The research will involve culturing cells in specialized hardware to control temperature and humidity, fixing the cells at different...
This is a $938,671 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to investigate the effects of microgravity on mammalian stem cell differentiation. The research seeks to understand how exposure to microgravity environments alters the regulation of the OCT4 transcription factor, which is crucial for maintaining stem cell pluripotency. The University of Minnesota will use induced pluripotent stem cells derived from a...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University, is a $299,683.70 grant to study the effects of microgravity on the coupling and communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone remodeling. The goal is to identify countermeasures, such as the use of bisphosphonates or anti-RANKL antibodies, to mitigate the...
