This is a $1,028,801 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on countermeasures to prevent ocular (eye) structural and functional changes in a terrestrial model of Space-Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS). The contract does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD, as a premier public research university, has an extensive track record of receiving federal research contracts and grants...
This is a $148,037.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to evaluate the mechanical properties of the dura mater (the outer layer of the meninges) in astronauts and its correlation with the severity of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The research aims to use existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and computational modeling to quantify...
This federal contract award, valued at $698,314.09, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The contract supports research and modeling efforts to better understand Visual Impairment/Intracranial Pressure (VIIP) syndrome, a condition that affects some astronauts during long-duration spaceflight. The research aims to develop computational models that can quantify the...
This federal contract award, valued at $148,404.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Imec USA Nanoelectronics Design Center, Inc., a non-profit research organization. The award encompasses three separate research projects undertaken by Dr. Susana Zanello as the principal investigator. The projects aim to study the effects of microgravity on ophthalmic complications, cerebrospinal fluid production, and intracranial pressure, with the goal of supporting...
This is a $597,005.29 grant award made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Miami to conduct research on head-down bed rest as a ground-based analog for the visual impairment and intracranial pressure (VIIP) syndrome observed in astronauts following long-duration spaceflight. The study aims to use novel imaging technology to quantify changes in eye globe distortions, optic nerve protrusion, and visual acuity during 30 days of head-down bed rest, and...
This $1,148,684.00 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center for research into Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS), which affects about 40% of astronauts completing long-duration spaceflights. The objective is to determine whether microgravity alters the structure and function of the ocular vasculature, including arteries, veins, and lymphatics, as this may contribute to the...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Mayo Clinic, a renowned non-profit academic medical center. The grant, valued at $226,647.56, aims to investigate the genetic relationship between ophthalmic findings observed in astronauts and patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The study will evaluate one-carbon biochemistry and genetics in PCOS and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) patients to assess their possible...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $100,000 cooperative agreement to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHS) for contract 23-2023 ISS-0003. The objective of this agreement is to develop a compact, non-invasive, and efficient vision screening system for long-term spaceflight missions, as NASA works to enable safe and productive human space exploration. As the prime contractor, NSHS will leverage its expertise through the Office of the Governor of Nevada to...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $940,352 grant to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) for a 30-day head-down tilt study to investigate countermeasures for spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), a risk to long-duration spaceflight. The study will provide detailed neurophysiological and fluid shift assessment tools to complement standard ocular measures used for SANS diagnosis and monitoring. This award is not...
This is a $100,000.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), a for-profit research and development company. The contract builds upon PSI's previous SBIR Phase II work on a novel ophthalmic imaging platform to characterize and monitor potential visual impairment observed in long-duration spaceflight. The Phase II-X program has two main objectives: 1) Demonstrate...
