About this award
The University of Rochester received a $2.56 million research grant from a civilian federal agency to investigate the effects of space radiation on innate immune system homeostasis and the resulting impacts on immune and endothelial cell dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Awarded on March 10, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027, this research grant reflects no small business set-aside designation and will be performed at the university's Rochester, New York campus. The award represents the institution's substantial capabilities in biomedical research, particularly in neuroscience and radiation biology, areas critical to supporting human spaceflight missions and advancing understanding of radiation exposure risks.
This grant aligns with the University of Rochester's established portfolio of federally funded research spanning the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The university has demonstrated consistent expertise in complex biological research initiatives, including significant awards for neurological disorders research, spatial biology infrastructure development, and clinical translational science. The current award contributes to the broader federal research agenda addressing the physiological impacts of space environments on human health, supporting the nation's continued investment in understanding and mitigating radiation hazards for long-duration spaceflight operations.
