This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project. The $194,617.59 grant will fund research to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens in the International Space Station (ISS) habitat and correlate their presence with crew health. The project aims to catalog viruses and...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $249,998 grant to The Ohio State University to conduct research on predicting moisture-related changes to the indoor microbiome and astronaut exposure aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The objective is to develop improved microbial clearance protocols that are more relevant to astronaut health, planetary protection, and spacecraft integrity. This research project builds upon previous microbial monitoring efforts...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on Staphylococcus epidermidis, an opportunistic human pathogen found on the International Space Station (ISS). The $140,000.00 grant will fund comparative genomic analysis of S. epidermidis strains isolated from the ISS, characterization of their biofilm-forming capacity and antibiotic resistance, and...
This is a $1,148,591 grant awarded by NASA to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, to study the effects of altered gravity on microbial biofilm formation. The research aims to develop improved methods for microbiological monitoring and contamination control on long-duration human space missions, which is crucial for crew health and safety. The contract supports testing three model microbial systems - E. coli, a Staphylococcus sp....
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a private non-profit organization, to conduct a study on how microbial communities are established, function, and respond to changes in indoor environments. The $149,398.87 grant is part of NASA's "Microbiomes of the Built Environment: From Research to Application" program and will support an ad hoc committee appointed by NAS to assess...
This grant award to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. is for a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and virulence in certain bacteria that have been identified in the water system of the International Space Station. The $137,075.84 award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will support genomic sequencing and transposon sequencing studies to assess the potential for increased virulence and antibiotic resistance in Burkholderia...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $198,354.38 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This university-led project aims to systematically characterize changes in microbial cell growth dynamics, aggregation, drug resistance, and virulence across simulated micro-, lunar (1/6 g), and Martian (1/3 g) gravity environments. The research will utilize spaceflight...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0016, was granted to the Arizona State University Division, doing business as ORSPA, to characterize the effects of spaceflight analog culture on microbial pathogenesis and virulence. The $1,118,678.82 grant, awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to analyze microbial stress responses, colonization, and viability in 3D tissue culture models, as well as assess changes in virulence...
This federal contract award was granted to Arizona State University (ASU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the impact of spaceflight on host-microbiome interactions and pathogen infection. The $498,913.08 grant will fund the development of a three-dimensional intestinal co-culture model containing immune cells, which will be populated with astronaut fecal microbiota to assess its influence on Salmonella infection under microgravity analogue...
This is a $95,680 supplemental award to the existing MICRO-5 spaceflight experiment contract held by Arizona State University (ASU). The contract, originally awarded in 2017, is focused on investigating host-pathogen interactions in the spaceflight environment. The supplemental funding will enable ASU to leverage advanced RNA-sequencing technology to analyze gene expression profiles of both the host (nematode) and pathogen during spaceflight and ground control experiments. This data is...
