- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $257,997.43 research grant to Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education, a public research university located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The research grant aims to determine the radiobiological effects of space radiation on the cardiovascular system, including evaluating dose-responses, radiation thresholds, and gender differences that could impact cardiovascular disease risk estimates. The research...
- This $179,871.47 federal grant award to Texas A&M University was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the effects of space radiation and microgravity on the cardiovascular system. The research aims to understand how space flight imposes unique stressors on astronauts, particularly the damage and fibrosis that can occur in the heart and vasculature due to radiation exposure. The grant will fund a series of mouse studies using X-ray, heavy ion, and...
- Duke University's Office of Research Administration has been awarded an $800,000 research grant by the NASA Shared Services Center, with a completion date of November 30, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports a multi-disciplinary investigation into the cardiovascular effects of environmental stressors encountered during space exploration, specifically examining the individual and combined impacts of galactic cosmic radiation and weightlessness on cardiac biology. The research leverages two...
- This is a $2,112,556.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University for a research project titled "Proteomic Signatures of Space Radiation Induced Cardiovascular Degeneration." The purpose of the grant is to evaluate the impact of low-dose chronic space radiation or mixed-field space radiation exposure on the cardiac proteome and cardiovascular function. Duke University will leverage its expertise in bioinformatics analysis of...
- The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Health Sciences Division, was awarded a $149,834.28 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct biomedical research on the bioactive proteins secreted by the human vasculature in response to low-dose space radiation. The original research aims remain unchanged, with the exception of re-numbering and modifying the irradiation plan to include gamma and mixed field exposures instead of...
- This is a $2,399,358.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia to conduct research on the health effects of exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). The research aims to better understand the mechanisms by which GCR, particularly its high charge and energy (HZE) particle components, can lead to chronic DNA damage and impairment of DNA repair machinery, which may contribute to increased cancer risk for astronauts on...
- This is a $300,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University to conduct research on reducing the uncertainty in estimates of cancer and cardiovascular risks from space radiation. The study will evaluate changes in molecular biomarkers in rodents and rabbits exposed to radiation relevant to astronaut exposures. Archived tissue samples will be analyzed using modern analytical technologies and rigorous statistical methods to examine...
