- NASA awarded a $940,352 grant to Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the research division of The General Hospital Corporation, on April 1, 2020, to support research on Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS), a significant medical concern for long-duration spaceflight missions. Under this non-set-aside grant with a completion deadline of March 31, 2026, MGH will develop and provide a comprehensive toolkit for detailed neurophysiological and fluid shift assessment and monitoring to...
- This is a $202,465.13 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) for research on Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS). The grant aims to evaluate human glymphatic function in response to simulated microgravity and elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, as these factors have been proposed as potential underlying causes of SANS. The research will involve conducting glymphatics MRI imaging on human subjects in both...
- This federal contract award, valued at $698,314.09, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The contract supports research and modeling efforts to better understand Visual Impairment/Intracranial Pressure (VIIP) syndrome, a condition that affects some astronauts during long-duration spaceflight. The research aims to develop computational models that can quantify the...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Imec USA Nanoelectronics Design Center, Inc., a non-profit research organization, for three research projects related to the effects of microgravity on the human body. The three projects are: Evaluation of hindlimb suspension as a model to study ophthalmic complications in microgravity, including ocular structure, function, and association with intracranial pressure. A gene expression and histologic approach...
- This federal contract award is a $1,148,684.00 grant for research to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, a prominent U.S. government entity and educational institution specializing in biomedical research. The award, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund a study on Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS), which affects up to 40% of astronauts on long-duration spaceflights. The research aims to clarify the pathophysiology of SANS by...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $308,668 research grant to the Doheny Eye Institute, a non-profit organization focused on vision research and patient care. The contract, which is not designated as a set-aside, aims to determine the combined structural and functional ocular alterations caused by the development of optic disc edema in a spaceflight analog environment. This research directly supports NASA's efforts to understand and mitigate vision-related impacts...
- This is a $76,291.86 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization affiliated with the Georgia Institute of Technology. The grant is part of NASA's "Shared Cognitive Architectures for Long-Term Exploration" (SCALE) program, which focuses on maintaining team shared mental models during long-duration space exploration missions. The research team will leverage expertise in...
- This $2,926,098 federal grant award to Baylor College of Medicine, a private non-profit health sciences university in Houston, Texas, is for a long-term study to determine the health consequences of the Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) and related brain alterations from long-duration spaceflight. The key objectives of the study are to 1) assess the long-term health impacts of SANS and associated ocular changes, and 2) evaluate the long-term health implications of...
- This federal award is a grant for $994,678 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), doing business as the Office of Research Administration. The grant supports research on the effects of real microgravity on human neural stem cells and oligodendrocytes, aimed at understanding the causes of increased intracranial pressure and visual impairment observed in astronauts after long-duration space missions. The research will...
- This is a $85,430.42 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to conduct a three-year programmatic investigation into team task switching for astronaut crews on the International Space Station (ISS). The research aims to develop concrete countermeasures to mitigate the risks of inadequate cooperation, coordination, communication, and...
This is a $148,037.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to evaluate the mechanical properties of the dura mater (the outer layer of the meninges) in astronauts and its correlation with the severity of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The research aims to use existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and computational modeling to quantify changes in ocular structure and function, which could help determine the etiological mechanisms and risk factors for the ocular changes observed during and after spaceflight. This work directly addresses NASA's goals of quantifying crew health and performance risks associated with human spaceflight. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on July 17, 2019, with a completion date of November 29, 2021.
