About this award

This is a $180,535 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas Southern University (TSU), a public Historically Black College and University (HBCU) located in Houston, Texas. The grant is for a research project titled "Antibody Somatic Hypermutation Under Spaceflight Conditions" which aims to study the effects of spaceflight on the immune system. This builds on a previous space experiment that suggested spaceflight can decrease the frequency of antibody somatic hypermutations. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Texas Southern University has an extensive portfolio of federal grant awards, including significant funding from agencies like the National Science Foundation, Department of Education, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Justice, focused on areas such as STEM education, environmental justice, and campus safety.
