This federal contract award to Brigham & Women's Hospital, a subsidiary of Partners Healthcare System Incorporated, is for a $140,753 grant to develop a dynamic lighting schedule (DLS) that uses blue-enriched and blue-depleted white light to improve astronaut alertness, circadian rhythm alignment, and sleep during space missions. The work will be performed at the Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) facility as a precursor to in-flight testing aboard the International Space Station (ISS)...
This delivery order was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center (NASA) to the National Institute Of Aerospace Associates, doing business as National Institute Of Aerospace, for $25,000. The order calls for the contractor to perform modeling and analysis to support battery and lighting component requirements for extended duration space scenarios. Specifically, the contractor will model battery storage needs for "Survive the Night" mission...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $2,316,596.33 cooperative agreement to the University of Pennsylvania to develop a standardized suite of behavioral health measurement tools for use in spaceflight research and ground-based analogs. The goal is to rapidly and reliably assess the risk of adverse behavioral conditions and psychiatric outcomes for exploration-class missions to Mars and other long-duration, isolated environments. The tools will be integrated on an...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, a prestigious private research university and academic medical center. The $2,472,133.00 grant, which has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2033, is part of an international proposal consisting of two synergistic projects carried out jointly by the German Aerospace Center...
This federal contract award, valued at $238,468.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to conduct research on light pollution and its public health implications. The project aims to develop data visualization and analysis tools, platforms to study the intersection of light pollution, demographics, and health statistics, and an education program to raise awareness and engage the...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,723 grant to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) on April 10, 2018 to conduct research on the effects of artificial gravity on neuroplasticity and behavioral health during long-duration spaceflight. The overarching goal is to quantify the impact of different intermittent artificial gravity protocols on cortical neuroplasticity, neural control of the cardiovascular system, and spatial cognition during 60-day...
This $4,088,467.35 award to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, is a grant for research focused on optimizing human performance, adaptability, and resiliency for long-duration space exploration missions. The research leverages the NIMH Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework to identify biological and behavioral factors that predict astronaut performance and well-being in simulated spaceflight conditions....
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...
