About this award
The University of Pittsburgh has been awarded a $95,463 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to support Dr. Beheshti's continued investigation into the physiological effects of simulated spaceflight conditions on mini-pig models. The project, titled "Predicting Predisposed Space Radiation from Gravity and Hyperbaric Alterations Determined from Mini-Pigs Studies," addresses knowledge gaps identified in the Human Research Program (HRP) by analyzing the combined effects of altered gravity and hypobaric (altered pressure) conditions. The University of Pittsburgh was selected based on the scientific merit and innovation of the research design, the institution's demonstrated facilities and technical capabilities to support such investigations, and reasonable cost proposals for personnel and overhead. The award was made without set-aside designations through open competition.
The grant extends through December 31, 2026, with an award date of January 1, 2025. This research supports the federal government's broader mission to understand human health risks associated with spaceflight by utilizing a novel animal model that can provide rigorous physiological insights. The University of Pittsburgh's extensive experience as a major federal research institution, evidenced by its substantial portfolio of NIH, NSF, and other agency awards across biomedical and health sciences domains, positions it well to successfully execute this specialized aerospace medicine research project.
