This is a $392,133.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to investigate whether 30 minutes of artificial gravity per day, delivered either continuously or in six, five-minute intermittent blocks, can mitigate changes that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The grant, which is not set aside, will fund a 60-day head-down tilt bed rest study to assess the effectiveness of the artificial gravity countermeasure on neurocognitive performance. The study will utilize cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques and a comprehensive battery of sensory, motor, and cognitive assessments. As a leading research institution, UF has a strong track record of securing federal grants and contracts from agencies like NASA to conduct advanced research across various disciplines.
