About this award
The U.S. government's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $244,054 grant to Fauna Bio Incorporated, a woman-owned small business, for a research project titled "A Revolutionary Approach to Interplanetary Space Travel Studying Torpor in Animals for Space Health in Humans STASH." The grant, awarded through NASA's Shared Services Center, is focused on studying torpor (hibernation-like states) in animals and exploring its potential applications for enabling extended human hibernation during long-duration space travel. This project aims to advance transformational space technologies and reduce costs for future space exploration missions. Fauna Bio's expertise in leveraging animal adaptations, particularly those of hibernating mammals, to develop novel therapeutic approaches for addressing human health challenges makes them well-suited to conduct this research. The grant is not set aside and runs until September 30, 2025.
