- This is a $392,133.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to investigate whether 30 minutes of artificial gravity per day, delivered either continuously or in six, five-minute intermittent blocks, can mitigate changes that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The grant, which is not set aside, will fund a 60-day head-down tilt bed rest study to assess the effectiveness of the artificial gravity countermeasure on...
- This is a $202,465.13 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) for research on Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS). The grant aims to evaluate human glymphatic function in response to simulated microgravity and elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, as these factors have been proposed as potential underlying causes of SANS. The research will involve conducting glymphatics MRI imaging on human subjects in both...
- The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a $2.19M research grant from a civilian federal agency through a Shared Services Center, with performance to be conducted in Gainesville, Florida, and an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2033. The research focuses on investigating neurological changes resulting from spaceflight exposure, specifically examining an upward shift of brain tissue within the skull that produces apparent reductions in gray matter volume in...
- This is a $597,005.29 grant award made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Miami to conduct research on head-down bed rest as a ground-based analog for the visual impairment and intracranial pressure (VIIP) syndrome observed in astronauts following long-duration spaceflight. The study aims to use novel imaging technology to quantify changes in eye globe distortions, optic nerve protrusion, and visual acuity during 30 days of head-down bed rest, and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,723 grant to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) on April 10, 2018 to conduct research on the effects of artificial gravity on neuroplasticity and behavioral health during long-duration spaceflight. The overarching goal is to quantify the impact of different intermittent artificial gravity protocols on cortical neuroplasticity, neural control of the cardiovascular system, and spatial cognition during 60-day...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $832,836 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity. This 5-year grant (ending December 31, 2027) supports UF in executing a balanced science program aligned with discipline-specific guidance, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The grant aims to advance UF's participation as a key...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $310,339.35 federal grant (Contract ID: 80NSSC18K1465) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the impact of microgravity on bacteria-induced apoptosis in animal tissues. The research aims to elucidate the signaling pathways associated with bacteria-induced cell death and how they are altered under simulated microgravity conditions. This work is expected to provide insights into the...
- The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a $719,896 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), effective January 1, 2025, with completion targeted for December 31, 2027. This civilian agency funding supports research aligned with NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) program, which prioritizes a balanced science portfolio grounded in National Academies guidance and congressional direction. The award will be...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $336,000.00 grant from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for "Controlled Therapeutic Biomanufacturing for Deep Space Missions". The grant, which runs from August 15, 2023 to August 14, 2027, will support UF's research and development efforts in the area of advanced biomanufacturing technologies for use in deep space exploration. As a top-tier public...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research for research on how microbial cells respond to the human spaceflight environment. The $159,395.08 grant will fund a project to analyze transcriptomic data from the NASA GeneLab database to identify common molecular mechanisms used by bacteria to cope with the stresses of spaceflight, such as microgravity and ionizing radiation. The goal is to...
The University of Florida (UF) was awarded a $513,967.35 grant (Grant Award ID: 80NSSC17K0021) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the neurological impacts of a 30-day head-down tilt bed rest study with a 0.5% CO2 environment. This research aims to quantify the neurocognitive changes and associated neural structural and functional alterations that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The study will utilize cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques and a range of sensory, motor, and cognitive assessments to investigate neuroplastic and maladaptive brain changes. This research will help identify the underlying neural mechanisms and operational risks of behavioral changes in a spaceflight analog environment, as well as determine if a return to normative behavioral function is associated with a restitution of brain structure and function or compensatory brain processes. There is no set-aside designation for this grant.
