- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University, an 1862 Land Grant College and educational institution located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The $330,097.68 grant is for a research project to characterize the role of two protein families that may mediate contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and other organelles, and how these contacts relate to gravity sensing in plants. The research aims to understand how plants...
- North Carolina State University received a $93,601.95 research grant from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) awarded on December 8, 2022, to investigate how elevated carbon dioxide levels affect plant physiology and nutritional content in edible microgreens. The research will examine three distinct photosynthetic mechanisms—C3, C4, and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)—to determine which mechanisms provide advantages for enhancing plant productivity in space environments. By...
- The U.S. government awarded a $129,327 grant to North Carolina State University for research on the effects of urbanization on plant phenology. The research initiative, performed at NC State's Raleigh, North Carolina campus, addresses the critical relationship between urban development and botanical flowering and growth patterns. Understanding these urbanization impacts is essential for comprehending biodiversity dynamics, ecosystem structure, carbon cycling, and potential human health...
- North Carolina State University has been awarded a $298,562 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to examine how the interaction between the circadian clock and gravity is affected under simulated microgravity conditions. Utilizing the Random Positioning Machine, the prime contractor will analyze gravity responses in Arabidopsis plants to support a connection between plant gravity sensing, circadian clock responses, and overall fitness. The sole-source...

North Carolina State University received a grant award valued at $303,770.14 from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on plant biology in space environments. The research project, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, focuses on examining transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that control early seedling development in microgravity conditions. The study builds upon previous flight experiments and investigates the role of small regulatory RNA molecules in plant adaptation to the space environment. This research aligns with Priority 2 recommendations from the Space Biology Research Focus area, specifically addressing the need to analyze plant growth and physiological responses to multiple stimuli encountered during space flight. The long-term objectives of this research effort are to understand the molecular mechanisms by which plants sense and respond to environmental changes and to characterize the regulatory networks governing these responses. Findings from this work are intended to inform the design of plants with enhanced resilience to space flight conditions, microgravity, and adverse environmental factors—knowledge critical for sustaining human life support systems during long-duration space missions and habitation. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive standing as a comprehensive research institution with extensive experience in federal scientific research across multiple domains. The contract type is classified as a grant for research with pricing structured on an other basis.
