- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC20K1147, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc), a non-profit academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts. The $378,294.83 grant is for research to better understand the musculoskeletal response to longer duration spaceflight, as previous rodent studies have been limited to 2-week missions. The award is not designated as a set-aside contract. Bidmc, as a teaching...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AL36G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (BIDMC), a non-profit academic medical center in Boston, MA. The $1,066,991.00 grant funds a research study on the musculoskeletal response of rats exposed to varying levels of partial gravity, from 0.2G to 0.7G, to better understand the impact on muscle atrophy and bone loss. This research aims to inform the development of...
- This federal contract award is a $140,000.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc), a not-for-profit academic medical center located in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant will fund a postdoctoral fellowship to evaluate the impact of sex hormones on neuronal and musculoskeletal health in micro and Martian gravity environments using naive and castrated/ovariectomized male and female rats. The...
- This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc), a major academic medical center in Boston, MA. The $254,434 grant is for a research project titled "Vertebral Strength and Fracture Risk Following Long Duration Spaceflight". The objective is to assess changes in bone density and strength of astronauts' lumbar vertebrae using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans, in order to determine the...
- Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (BIDMC), a Harvard Medical School-affiliated academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts, received a $784,445 research grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on February 1, 2021. This grant supports a definition phase study investigating resveratrol and electrical muscle stimulation as countermeasures to preserve sensorimotor function during a 60-day head-down bedrest protocol. The award carries an ultimate...
- Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc., a Harvard Medical School-affiliated academic medical center located in Boston, Massachusetts, was awarded a $900K research grant on April 1, 2023, to investigate the acute and long-term effects of combined radiation and partial gravity unloading on neurological and musculoskeletal systems. The research will utilize male and female rats to evaluate separate and combined effects of simulated galactic cosmic rays and lunar gravity conditions (20%...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0439, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an agency within NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard Medical School) to conduct research on musculoskeletal loss and functional impairment. The $97,847.95 grant aims to investigate if boosting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels can mitigate unloading-induced muscle atrophy and bone loss, both of which are significant challenges for space exploration and people...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1500, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The General Hospital Corporation (MGH) to conduct research on understanding human performance under various partial-gravity loadings. The $400,000 grant aims to support NASA's crewed mission strategies, particularly for Mars landings, which require the crew to use robotic teleoperation within 24 hours. This contract is not set aside for any specific designation. MGH, a...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is a $653,851 grant for research being conducted by the Trustees of Boston University. The contract has a start date of February 6, 2020 and end date of February 23, 2022, and will be performed in Boston, Massachusetts. As NASA's mission involves advancing exploration, innovation, and scientific discovery in aeronautics and space, this research grant was likely awarded to support...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0567, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (Bidmc), a prominent academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts. The contract, valued at $1,959,734.00, is for the "Time Course of Spaceflight Induced Adaptations in Bone Morphology, Bone Strength and Muscle Mass Quality" research project, which was selected in response to NASA's Human Exploration Research Opportunity (HERO) solicitation. The contract is divided into two phases: Phase 1 (Definition) and Phase 2 (Implementation). This initial award covers only the Definition phase, with the gate to proceed to the Implementation phase requiring selection for flight by the Human Research Program Control Board. The contract is a grant for research, with a performance period ending on July 31, 2034. Bidmc, as the prime contractor, does not have any major subcontractors identified in the information provided. This contract award was not set aside for any specific business type.
