About this award
Wake Forest University Health Sciences was awarded a sole-source grant valued at $300,000 on July 1, 2024, to develop injury assessment reference values for the lumbar spine applicable to spaceflight use cases. The work, to be completed by June 30, 2026, will be performed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This research grant supports the advancement of human spaceflight safety by establishing evidence-based biomechanical thresholds and assessment methodologies specific to spinal injuries that may occur during space operations. The funding agency is a Shared Services Center within the federal government, supporting critical research that will benefit long-duration spaceflight missions and crew health protocols.
Wake Forest University Health Sciences, a private, non-profit academic medical center, is well-positioned to execute this research given its extensive track record in biomechanical injury research and federal grant management. The institution, operating as a child entity of Wake Forest University, has significant experience conducting complex medical and scientific research for federal agencies, including the National Institutes of Health, National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and Defense Health Agency. The contract has no set-aside designation and represents specialized, highly technical research that aligns with the university's established capabilities in injury biomechanics and spaceflight-related medical research initiatives.
