- Duke University was awarded a $148,337.04 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research related to medical care and procedures for astronauts. The grant, awarded on July 23, 2020, will support the development of techniques for drawing blood samples and administering intravenous medications in space, which can be complex and time-consuming for astronauts. The grant is scheduled to be completed by February 2, 2022. This award is not associated with a...
- Duke University's Office of Research Administration has been awarded an $800,000 research grant by the NASA Shared Services Center, with a completion date of November 30, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports a multi-disciplinary investigation into the cardiovascular effects of environmental stressors encountered during space exploration, specifically examining the individual and combined impacts of galactic cosmic radiation and weightlessness on cardiac biology. The research leverages two...
- This is a $2,112,556.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University for a research project titled "Proteomic Signatures of Space Radiation Induced Cardiovascular Degeneration." The purpose of the grant is to evaluate the impact of low-dose chronic space radiation or mixed-field space radiation exposure on the cardiac proteome and cardiovascular function. Duke University will leverage its expertise in bioinformatics analysis of...
- Duke University Office of Research Administration was awarded a $150,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to research the effects of space radiation on the cardiovascular system. The grant is part of an ongoing NASA-funded study titled "Proteomic Signatures of Space Radiation Induced Cardiovascular Degeneration." The research aims to explore the role of a family of proteins called small proline-rich repeat proteins (SPRRs) in mitigating the...
- 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 is a $90,763 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University, a prestigious private research institution located in Durham, North Carolina. The grant is part of NASA's ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity, which aims to execute a balanced science program, participate as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, advance discovery in emerging fields, and develop a...
- Duke University's Office of Research Administration was awarded a $285,298 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center on March 11, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2027. This non-set-aside competitive award will be performed in Durham, North Carolina and supports NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) funding program. The award aligns with ROSES's overarching objectives to execute a balanced...
- This is a $909,347 federal grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University, a prestigious private research institution located in Durham, North Carolina. The grant is for Duke University to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The work will focus on scientific research of, on, 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. The research aims to better understand how the space environment can alter endocrine regulation of these cellular processes. This...
- 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...
Duke University was awarded a $201,283.63 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on how the physical space environment may influence the activation of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in the human genome. The grant, which was awarded on October 1, 2019 and is scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2022, will fund two research aims: 1) utilizing a bioreactor to grow cells in a simulated microgravity environment and evaluate them for evidence of ERV activation, and 2) examining tissue samples from mice exposed to various types and doses of space radiation for signs of ERV activation. The research is significant as it may identify early markers of potential genomic changes that could occur during space travel and lead to negative health outcomes. No set-aside designation was indicated for this grant award.
