About this award
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been awarded a $30,000 grant by the Shared Services Center to conduct research on spaceflight and regolith-induced mitochondrial stress mitigated by microRNA-based countermeasures. The award, issued on March 20, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of March 19, 2026, represents a non-set-aside grant for research that will be performed at UNC-Chapel Hill's Chapel Hill, North Carolina location through the Office of Sponsored Research. This research initiative addresses cellular stress mechanisms that occur during spaceflight exposure and lunar regolith interaction, investigating how microRNA-based interventions may serve as protective countermeasures against mitochondrial damage.
As a leading public research university with extensive experience executing federal research contracts and grants, UNC-Chapel Hill brings substantial expertise in biomedical science and advanced research investigations to this project. The institution maintains a robust track record with civilian federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health and other research-focused organizations. This particular grant contributes to the broader federal effort to understand and mitigate the biological challenges associated with human spaceflight and lunar exploration, supporting the development of protective strategies for astronauts exposed to the unique hazards of space environments.
