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....
This is a $400,616 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. (JCVI), a non-profit genomic research organization. The grant aims to study the effects of an "enhanced" spaceflight diet, with increased consumption of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lycopene, flavonoids, fruits, and vegetables, on immune function, gut microbiota, and nutritional status of crew members in ground-based analogs and on International...
This is a $249,920 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to utilize the NASA GeneLab dataset to identify novel components involved in plant gravity sensing and mechanical response mechanisms. The goal is to better understand how plants regulate their gravity sensory systems at the gene expression level to adapt to the microgravity environment of space. The research will leverage transcriptomic and...
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...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $210,000 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research using advanced molecular biology tools to identify genes in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus that are critical for adapting to the spaceflight environment. The goal is to compare the growth and survivability of this photosynthetic microorganism between space and Earth conditions. This research aligns with NASA's priorities to understand...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Noble Research Institute LLC, doing business as the Noble Foundation, a non-profit organization. The $167,362.96 grant is for research to study how plants respond to microgravity conditions, with the goal of enabling the use of plants in long-duration space exploration. The research focuses on understanding how the plant cytoskeleton and cell wall composition regulate root growth directionality in true and...
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 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 award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research for research on how microbial cells respond to the human spaceflight environment. The $159,395.08 grant will fund a project to analyze transcriptomic data from the NASA GeneLab database to identify common molecular mechanisms used by bacteria to cope with the stresses of spaceflight, such as microgravity and ionizing radiation. The goal is to...
This is a $2,399,358.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia to conduct research on the health effects of exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). The research aims to better understand the mechanisms by which GCR, particularly its high charge and energy (HZE) particle components, can lead to chronic DNA damage and impairment of DNA repair machinery, which may contribute to increased cancer risk for astronauts on...
