- 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...
- 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 $179,871.47 federal grant award to Texas A&M University was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the effects of space radiation and microgravity on the cardiovascular system. The research aims to understand how space flight imposes unique stressors on astronauts, particularly the damage and fibrosis that can occur in the heart and vasculature due to radiation exposure. The grant will fund a series of mouse studies using X-ray, heavy ion, and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,000.00 grant to the San Jose State University Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization, to conduct research on the dramatic changes in cardiovascular physiology during spaceflight. This includes the redistribution of fluids, decrease in blood volume, and increase in stroke volume and cardiac output. The contract was awarded on December 1, 2020, with a completion date of July 31, 2024. No set-aside was used for this...
- This is a $215,685.52 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Loma Linda University (LLU), a private non-profit university. The grant is for research to evaluate the effects of simulated microgravity and low-dose radiation, which are stressors unique to the spaceflight environment, on the central nervous system, eyes, and skin in a ground-based model. The research aims to further understand the mechanisms behind the deleterious...
- This is a $140,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research on the effects of long-term exposure to the microgravity environment on the cardiovascular and immune systems of astronauts. The research will utilize the hindlimb-unloading rodent model to simulate microgravity conditions and investigate changes in circulatory function, immune system responses, and the potential therapeutic effects of the...
- This $949,055.36 research grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of weightlessness on the human body. The purpose is to examine how simulated microgravity impacts the structure and function of various organ systems, including the cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, musculoskeletal, visual, and neural systems. The research will use a rat model to contrast the adaptations induced by head-ward fluid shifts versus full or partial...
