About this award
This is a $321,332.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) for research on the effects of spaceflight on bone and fat metabolism. The contract is focused on understanding the mechanisms behind the detrimental changes in bone marrow, fat infiltration, and bone loss observed in astronauts during spaceflight. OSU, a public land-grant research university, has significant expertise in fields like agriculture, engineering, and environmental sciences. The university frequently partners with federal agencies, national laboratories, and other institutions on research and technical projects. This grant aligns with NASA's efforts to better understand the physiological impacts of space travel and develop countermeasures to maintain astronaut health. The contract has no set-aside designation, indicating OSU was selected competitively based on its technical capabilities. The Oregon University System, of which OSU is a part, has an extensive history of federal contract and grant awards across a wide range of domains, frequently collaborating with other academic and research institutions.
