This federal contract award, valued at $2,089,751.30, was granted to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. (MCW) to conduct research on the effects of microgravity and space radiation on cardiac disease. The award is intended to address key aspects of the research goals outlined in Topic 6 of the National Research Announcement (NRA) NNJ16ZSA001N-SRHHC, which focuses on Space Radiation and Human Health Countermeasures.

The proposed research aims to 1) provide detailed physiological and biomolecular characterization of the risks and prediction for cardiac disease from microgravity and space-like radiation doses relevant for future human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit, and 2) determine the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values for space radiation using appropriate animal models and relevant physiological endpoints. The goal is to generate quantitative inputs to calculate degenerative tissue responses in humans following space radiation exposures. This work directly addresses gaps identified in the NASA Human Research Program (HRP) related to degenerative tissue effects.

The contract, which runs through February 2024, does not have a set-aside designation. MCW is a private, non-profit medical school and research institution located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with expertise in areas such as cancer research, cardiovascular medicine, and neuroscience. The award is funded by the NASA Shared Services Center.
