- Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a research division of the Texas A&M University System, was awarded a grant valued at approximately $600K to investigate telomere dynamics and oxidative stress in Arabidopsis within the space radiation environment. The research project, designated 21-21SBPS_2-0029, commenced on November 21, 2022, with completion expected by November 20, 2026, and will be conducted at the awardee's facility in College Station, Texas. No set-aside designation was applied to...
- This $750,000.00 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. The grant supports research on the effects of weightlessness and radiation exposure on telomere length in skeletal muscle atrophy, which has relevance to the health of astronauts during space exploration missions. The research aims to define the underlying molecular...
- NASA awarded a $744,428.59 research grant to Weill Medical College of Cornell University on January 25, 2022, to support the Space Biology Program's investigation into how spaceflight and microgravity affect biological organisms. The project utilizes advanced molecular analysis technologies including spatial transcriptomics, single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, and multi-omic spatial mapping to examine gene expression changes and cell signaling pathways in microorganisms, plants, and animals exposed...
- NASA's Ames Research Center awarded a $1.105 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on February 2, 2023, to determine the effects of spaceflight on cell and tissue dysfunction along the brain-liver-gut axis and to characterize the role of these perturbations in accelerating tissue degeneration associated with aging. Performance is located in Troy, NY. The award derives from a multi-agency Research Announcement issued May 27, 2021, by NASA, NIH, HHS...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to KBR Wyle Services, LLC, a for-profit manufacturer, to conduct research on the effects of long-duration spaceflight on astronauts. The research aims to determine whether spaceflight factors such as radiation, psychological stress, and altered physical activity contribute to the accelerated progression of atherosclerosis. The study will measure biomarkers, arterial structure and function, and genomic and...
- This is a $277,796.43 doctoral research project awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU). The contract is focused on developing a framework and model to evaluate the mortality risk and performance degradation of astronaut crew members due to space radiation and other spaceflight stressors like microgravity. This work aims to address NASA's need for tools to reduce uncertainty in radiation effects on human health and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $149,575.99 grant to the University of Arizona for a ground-based New Space Biology research project. The project will investigate the epigenetic effects of ionizing radiation and microgravity on gene expression related to DNA damage response and cell cycle control in human mammary epithelial cells.
