This is a $785,218.56 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for a research project titled "PROBING THE SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF RADIATION, ALTERED GRAVITY AND STRESS ON BEHAVIORAL COGNITIVE AND SENSORIMOTOR FUNCTIONS TO PREDICT PERFORMANCE DECREMENT IN ASTRONAUTS". The research aims to study how the combined factors of radiation, altered gravity, and stress impact the behavioral, cognitive, and sensorimotor functions of astronauts, with the goal of predicting performance decrements. This work is not being performed under a set-aside contract. As a leading academic medical center and research institution, UCSF has a strong track record of partnering with federal agencies like NASA on cutting-edge biomedical research projects. The award is expected to run through December 30, 2022.
