About this award
This federal contract award is a grant awarded by a civilian U.S. government agency to Northwestern University, a private research institution, to study the impact of the spaceflight environment and Martian gravity on the gut microbiota. The research aims to understand how challenges in circadian organization induced by the Martian light/dark cycle may interact with microgravity or partial gravity to alter the gut microbiota, which could affect the adaptation of physiological systems during long-term space travel and on Mars. The grant has a ceiling value of $463,069 and a performance period through August 31, 2026. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
Description
The gastrointestinal microbiota plays a key role in mammalian immune, metabolic, and psychological health. The spaceflight environment harbors challenges to GUT microbial communities and increases markers of gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases.
