- The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Health Sciences Division, was awarded a $149,834.28 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct biomedical research on the bioactive proteins secreted by the human vasculature in response to low-dose space radiation. The original research aims remain unchanged, with the exception of re-numbering and modifying the irradiation plan to include gamma and mixed field exposures instead of...
- This $540,200 cost-plus-fixed-fee grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to New York Medical College, a subsidiary of Touro University, to study the long-term consequences of cosmic radiation exposure. Over the three-year period of performance ending January 2023, the contractor will evaluate the impact of heavy ion radiation like iron-56 and protons on cardiovascular function and identify pathways that lead to radiation-induced...
- Duke University Office of Research Administration was awarded a $150,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to research the effects of space radiation on the cardiovascular system. The grant is part of an ongoing NASA-funded study titled "Proteomic Signatures of Space Radiation Induced Cardiovascular Degeneration." The research aims to explore the role of a family of proteins called small proline-rich repeat proteins (SPRRs) in mitigating the...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a private non-profit medical school and academic medical center located in New York City. The $225,232.00 grant is for a project that is described as a "very important and timely" effort towards improving, monitoring, and reducing the health effects of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) globally. The contract does not utilize...
- Duke University's Office of Research Administration has been awarded an $800,000 research grant by the NASA Shared Services Center, with a completion date of November 30, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports a multi-disciplinary investigation into the cardiovascular effects of environmental stressors encountered during space exploration, specifically examining the individual and combined impacts of galactic cosmic radiation and weightlessness on cardiac biology. The research leverages two...
- This $179,871.47 federal grant award to Texas A&M University was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the effects of space radiation and microgravity on the cardiovascular system. The research aims to understand how space flight imposes unique stressors on astronauts, particularly the damage and fibrosis that can occur in the heart and vasculature due to radiation exposure. The grant will fund a series of mouse studies using X-ray, heavy ion, and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $99,999.99, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine, a leading academic medical center and research institution. The contract aims to study the adverse cardiopulmonary effects of exposure to extraterrestrial dusts and their implications for space travel. The research will build upon preliminary investigations that have revealed differences in pulmonary inflammation caused by...
- This is a $488,896.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Weill Medical College of Cornell University to study the impact of spaceflight and radiation on clonal hematopoiesis. The grant, titled "The Impact of Spaceflight and Radiation on Clonal Hematopoiesis," runs from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2026. Weill Medical College of Cornell University is a prestigious private research university and academic medical center that has a strong track...
- This federal contract award is a $150,000.00 grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, doing business as Rbhs-New Jersey Medical School, a non-profit 1862 land grant college and educational institution. The grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center for a ground-based tissue sharing project to study the effects of low dose/low fluence space ionizing radiation on the mitochondrial stress response in the heart. The research will...
NASA awarded a $3.61 million grant to Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS) on April 10, 2019, for research addressing cardiovascular disease risks and degenerative tissue effects from radiation exposure, with performance extending through December 31, 2026. The research directly supports gaps identified in NASA's Human Research Program (HRP) Integrated Research Plan, specifically targeting the development of tissue-specific experimental models for cardiovascular and other degenerative tissue systems, elucidation of mechanisms underlying radiation-induced degenerative changes, and determination of progression rates and latency periods for radiation-induced diseases as influenced by age, sex, radiation type, and other physiological factors. The work will be performed at ISMMS's facility in New York, NY. This grant represents part of NASA's broader effort to understand and mitigate health risks to astronauts during long-duration spaceflight missions. ISMMS, recognized as a leading academic medical research institution with substantial NIH funding and expertise in biomedical research, is well-positioned to conduct the sophisticated experimental and modeling work required to address these radiation-related cardiovascular risks. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. The research outcomes are expected to inform NASA's risk assessment models and countermeasure development strategies for future deep space exploration missions.
