About this award

The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a $2.19M research grant from a civilian federal agency through a Shared Services Center, with performance to be conducted in Gainesville, Florida, and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2033. The research focuses on investigating neurological changes resulting from spaceflight exposure, specifically examining an upward shift of brain tissue within the skull that produces apparent reductions in gray matter volume in inferior and frontal brain regions while generating apparent increases in superior and posterior regions. This grant supports fundamental scientific inquiry into the physiological effects of microgravity on human neuroanatomy, contributing to understanding of the biological impacts of extended spaceflight and informing countermeasures for future space exploration missions. The award carries no small business set-aside designation.

As a prominent public research university and land-grant institution, the University of Florida has demonstrated significant capabilities in executing federally funded research across aerospace, biomedical, and environmental domains. The institution's Division of Sponsored Research serves as a critical research partner for multiple federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Department of Defense, positioning the university to effectively execute complex neuroscience research requiring specialized expertise in neuroimaging analysis and spaceflight physiology. This grant aligns with the university's established portfolio of life sciences research and its track record of delivering sophisticated scientific services to federal sponsors over multi-year performance periods.

Description

Our group has reported an upward shift of the brain within the skull following spaceflight, which results in apparent reduced gray matter volume in inferior and frontal brain regions, and apparent increased volume in superior and posterior regions.
