- North Carolina State University received a grant award valued at $303,770.14 from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on plant biology in space environments. The research project, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, focuses on examining transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that control early seedling development in microgravity conditions. The study builds upon previous flight experiments and investigates the role of small regulatory RNA molecules...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University, an 1862 Land Grant College and educational institution located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The grant, valued at $248,071.74, is for a research project titled "From the Perspective of the Target, a Cis-Regulatory Perspective on the Effects of Microgravity." The project aims to utilize the NASA GeneLab data repository to identify mechanisms regulating plant responses to...
- This is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) grant awarded to the Noble Research Institute LLC, doing business as Noble Foundation, a non-profit organization. The grant is for $200,149.31 and aims to develop methodology to enable space genomic studies on homogenous plant cell populations. The goal is to better understand how the spaceflight environment, particularly microgravity, influences gene expression in plants, which is critical for supporting long-duration space...
- This is a $690,435 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida to conduct research on the effects of spaceflight on plant epigenomes and gene expression. The research aims to understand how DNA methylation patterns are transmitted through plant seeds grown on the International Space Station (ISS) and whether this confers adaptive advantages to subsequent generations of plants grown in space. The research involves whole genome bisulfite...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Noble Research Institute LLC, doing business as the Noble Foundation, a non-profit organization. The $167,362.96 grant is for research to study how plants respond to microgravity conditions, with the goal of enabling the use of plants in long-duration space exploration. The research focuses on understanding how the plant cytoskeleton and cell wall composition regulate root growth directionality in true and...
- This is a $684,806.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ohio University. The grant is focused on understanding how plants respond to the spaceflight environment, with the goal of enabling plants to thrive in potentially hostile environments during long-distance space missions and colonization efforts. The research will combine expertise and resources from two principal investigators to generate multi-omics datasets and provide a comprehensive...
- This is a $100,000.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Puerto Rico. The goal of the project is to use novel graph-based network analysis methods to identify and characterize the molecular pathways and mechanisms underlying physiological changes in the Arabidopsis thaliana plant grown on the International Space Station. This research aims to improve understanding of plant gene expression in...
- This is a $139,986.55 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on the influence of microorganisms on the growth and protection of salad crops under conditions similar to the International Space Station (ISS). The objective is to develop a refined understanding of the plant microbiome of salad crops grown in plant growth chambers under previously used ISS growth conditions, and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $600,000.00 grant to the University of Illinois, a public land-grant research university, for the development of a "Smart NASA VEGGIE Unit and Advanced Plant Habitat" capable of self-optimizing LED lighting, nutrient release, and environmental conditions to maximize plant growth under space exploration conditions. The grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Illinois,...
- North Carolina State University received a $93,601.95 research grant from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) awarded on December 8, 2022, to investigate how elevated carbon dioxide levels affect plant physiology and nutritional content in edible microgreens. The research will examine three distinct photosynthetic mechanisms—C3, C4, and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)—to determine which mechanisms provide advantages for enhancing plant productivity in space environments.
