The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $170,851.75 grant to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), a public research university. The grant will fund a research study investigating how space travel and the space environment impact mammary gland development, stem cell populations, and reproductive ability in young adult mice. The study will use novel assays to understand how space adaptation-induced changes in immune function and hormone balance affect mammary gland development. It will also examine whether epigenetic changes in mouse oocytes resulting from space exposure correlate with reproductive capability. This grant-funded research aims to define how alterations in immune function and epigenetics from space travel and re-adaptation to Earth's environment can lead to defects in organ development and reproductive fitness. The grant has a completion date of May 3, 2021 and was awarded on January 31, 2018. No set-aside designation is mentioned.
