About this award
The University of Pennsylvania has been awarded a $2.27M grant by a Civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to conduct long-term research into the brain structural and functional consequences of spaceflight. The research will be performed at the university's Philadelphia campus with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2033. This grant represents a non-competed award with no set-aside designation and reflects the university's position as a premier research institution capable of addressing complex scientific questions relevant to federal priorities in space exploration and human health.
This research initiative aligns with broader federal interests in understanding the physiological impacts of space missions on human health, particularly as agencies plan for extended and deep-space exploration activities. The University of Pennsylvania's extensive portfolio of federally funded research, including substantial grants from the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation, demonstrates its established capacity to conduct sophisticated neuroscience and biomedical research. The nine-plus year performance period accommodates the longitudinal nature of studying spaceflight-related neurological changes, enabling comprehensive investigation of both structural brain alterations and functional outcomes in space-exposed populations.
