- This federal contract award, NNX15AV48G, was granted by NASA to Vanderbilt University to conduct research on the reliability of electronic systems in space radiation environments. The $75,991.04 grant will be used to demonstrate the applicability of Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) to NASA safety case scenarios, exploring the interaction of GSN with other reliability and modeling paradigms. The research aims to improve the safety of human and robotic space missions by understanding the impacts of...
- This is a $139,495.17 grant awarded by NASA to Vanderbilt University to integrate Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) with model-based systems engineering languages and Bayesian networks. The grant builds on previous work by Vanderbilt and NASA on applying GSN to small COTS-based spacecraft. The goal of this next phase is to identify the most likely failure mechanisms in a design and facilitate a quantitative estimate of confidence in the GSN assurance case. This grant is not associated with a...
- This federal contract award is for a research project between NASA and Vanderbilt University to investigate the use of Graphical Safety Notation (GSN), Bayesian networks, and Systems Modeling Language (SysML) in constructing safety cases for systems containing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) parts in radiation environments. The $317,491.65 grant project began on February 2, 2018 and is set to be completed by December 31, 2019. This research aims to develop an integrated approach using these...
- This is a $1,163,096 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Vanderbilt University's Sponsored Programs Administration Division. The research contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is focused on "Radiation Effects and Reliability for Space Environments" and has an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2023. Vanderbilt University, a leading private research institution, has a strong...
- 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 federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC21K0766, was made by the Shared Services Center of NASA to Vanderbilt University to lead an effort titled "ADVANCED, RADIATION-TOLERANT POWER", with support from GE Research and GE Aviation. The $1,987,541.94 grant-funded contract has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2023. Vanderbilt University, a leading private research institution, will leverage its expertise in space and defense electronics to address this NASA topic...
- This is a $3,224,525.87 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Vanderbilt University's Tennessee Space Grant Consortium. The grant aims to expand and promote NASA and STEM opportunities, awareness, and education throughout Tennessee. The consortium's goals are to bring qualified students into STEM higher education and the STEM workforce, provide hands-on STEM experiences, increase involvement with community colleges, and support diverse students....
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0294, was granted to Vanderbilt University's Sponsored Programs Administration Division by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract, valued at $548,562.62, is a grant for research with the goal of developing a multiscale and probabilistic computational framework to enable microstructure-informed prediction of fatigue crack initiation in polycrystalline materials. This research supports NASA's efforts in advancing...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $300,000.00 grant contract to Vanderbilt University for research related to an "Automated, Instrumented Evaluation Platform for Validating the Performance of a Novel, Integrated Microfluidic Pump and Valve Experiment Control System for Tissue-Chips-in-Space and Chemical Mixing Experiments in Microgravity". This research contract is focused on developing and evaluating an advanced microfluidic platform to support...
- This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Mississippi to develop a novel approach for Radiation Exposure Induced Death (REID) risk assessment using the GEANT4 radiation transport code. The key objectives of the project are to establish an expert GEANT4 user group to compare the results from GEANT4 with NASA's current HZETRAN code, and to extend the REID focus to include the health effects of radiation flux on...
