- This is a $99,852 research grant awarded by NASA to Florida State University (FSU) for a study on the adaptations of the venous circulation in the human body to simulated microgravity, lunar gravity, and Martian gravity conditions. The grant aims to increase knowledge of cardiovascular function and potential health risks for astronauts in deep space missions, including the planned Artemis missions to the Moon, which will send the first female astronaut. The study will investigate functional,...
- This is a $140,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research on the effects of long-term exposure to the microgravity environment on the cardiovascular and immune systems of astronauts. The research will utilize the hindlimb-unloading rodent model to simulate microgravity conditions and investigate changes in circulatory function, immune system responses, and the potential therapeutic effects of the...
- This federal contract award, valued at $913,566.31, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of microgravity on cerebral arterial, venous, and lymphatic function. The research aims to understand the implications for increased intracranial pressure and potential visual acuity impairment in astronauts during spaceflight. The contract, which does not utilize a set-aside, supports a 13-day spaceflight study on mice...
- This is a $392,133.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to investigate whether 30 minutes of artificial gravity per day, delivered either continuously or in six, five-minute intermittent blocks, can mitigate changes that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The grant, which is not set aside, will fund a 60-day head-down tilt bed rest study to assess the effectiveness of the artificial gravity countermeasure on...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $149,310 grant to Florida State University (FSU) for research on mental health conditions such as major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. The grant, which has no set-aside designation, will fund this research project through August 31, 2025. As a major research university, FSU has extensive experience conducting federally funded research across a wide range of scientific disciplines, including for...
- This is a $364,999 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) for research on the impacts of low-dose radiation exposure on cardiovascular health. The grant, which does not utilize a set-aside, supports a project titled "EMERGING RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT LOW-DOSE ENVIRONMENTAL AND MEDICAL RADIATION EXPOSURE INCREASES THE RISK OF MORTALITY DUE TO ISCHEMIC CORONARY ARTERY (HEART ATTACK) AND...
- This is a $296,907.57 grant awarded by NASA to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University) to study the effects of microgravity and partial microgravity on bone remodeling, as well as evaluate hypergravity as a countermeasure for microgravity-induced bone loss. The objective is to understand the underlying causes of bone loss experienced by astronauts during long-duration spaceflight and develop effective countermeasures to sustain bone health, which...
- This $133,884.58 grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Florida State University (FSU) on September 1, 2019. The project aligns with NASA's Earth Science Research Program goals to advance understanding of changes in the Earth's radiation balance and air quality resulting from changes in atmospheric composition. FSU, a major public research institution, will conduct research and development through its Sponsored Research Administration Division. No set-aside was used for this...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $298,974.04 grant to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, operating as Research and Sponsored Programs under the University of Wisconsin System, to conduct research on the effects of altered gravity on nuclear morphology and cytoskeletal organization in fibroblasts during parabolic flight. The research will involve culturing cells in specialized hardware to control temperature and humidity, fixing the cells at different...
- The University of California, Davis received a $651,979 research grant from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026. The award supports a research program investigating the use of artificial gravity as a countermeasure to mitigate physiological and behavioral deterioration caused by spaceflight exposure. The study employs an established mouse model and a centrifuge aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to establish...
This $949,055.36 research grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of weightlessness on the human body. The purpose is to examine how simulated microgravity impacts the structure and function of various organ systems, including the cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, musculoskeletal, visual, and neural systems. The research will use a rat model to contrast the adaptations induced by head-ward fluid shifts versus full or partial unloading to simulate Moon (1/8-G) and Mars (3/8-G) gravity. Measurements of tissue structure and function, as well as proteomic analysis, will be conducted to understand the role of gravity in regulating organ homeostasis. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, and there is no mention of major subcontractors. As a leading public research university, FSU leverages its broad scientific expertise to secure significant federal funding for both basic and applied research supporting NASA's space exploration mission.
