The award, issued on April 20,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $318,782.00 cooperative agreement to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) to develop a series of 12 short-term risk models for cardiovascular disease (CVD) assessment to apply the effects of radiation exposure. This project is not associated with any set-aside designation. UT Southwestern, an academic medical center in Dallas, Texas, is a component of the University of Texas System. The university...
- This is a $259,760.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern), a component of the University of Texas System. The grant is for the "Venous Congestion Countermeasure Study", a directed proposal from NASA's Human Research Program, which involves two external co-investigators. The study is expected to run from October 2018 through September 2020. No set-aside designation...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K1639, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, a child entity of the University of Texas System. The $1,030,692 grant aims to acquire data on cardiovascular impairments and associated biomarkers observed in patients undergoing cardiac exposure to ionizing radiation, with a focus on non-invasive imaging modalities. The research is...
- 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...
- This is a $1,199,998.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) for research evaluating the cellular and molecular responses of lung and liver cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with varying intrinsic radiosensitivity to space radiation. The award is a research grant with no set-aside designation, with a performance period through December 31, 2025. UT Southwestern is...
- The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) was awarded a $240,000 single-source research grant on March 18, 2025, for the analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images from a sensorimotor countermeasures headdown bedrest study. This contract, which will be completed by March 17, 2028, represents specialized analytical work supporting biomedical research initiatives. The award was issued through a Shared Services Center contract vehicle by a civilian federal...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Kansas State University (KSU) for research to determine the effect of spaceflight on the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors and disease in astronauts. The grant will utilize data from the Longitudinal Surveillance of Astronaut Health (LSAH) and Life Sciences Data Archive (LSDA) to investigate whether spaceflight induces a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease in astronauts compared to...
- This federal contract award was made by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, a civilian agency within the National Institutes of Health, to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern). The $3,690,384.38 definitive contract covers biomedical research services with a period of performance ending on July 10, 2015. There was no set-aside designation for this award. UT Southwestern is a prime contractor and subcontractor with extensive experience providing...
- This federal contract award, valued at $2,089,751.30, was granted to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. (MCW) to conduct research on the effects of microgravity and space radiation on cardiac disease. The award is intended to address key aspects of the research goals outlined in Topic 6 of the National Research Announcement (NRA) NNJ16ZSA001N-SRHHC, which focuses on Space Radiation and Human Health Countermeasures. The proposed research aims to 1) provide detailed physiological and...
This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AP25G, was granted to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) to analyze data from the Integrated Cardiovascular (ICV) experiment conducted on the International Space Station. The focus of this $89,853.72 grant is to assess the risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common cardiac arrhythmia, in astronauts. UT Southwestern, a non-profit academic medical center, will leverage the extensive cardiac data collected through the prior ICV study to further investigate the potential increased AFib risk associated with the extensive exercise regimens performed by astronauts on long-duration space missions. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation and appears to build upon UT Southwestern's extensive experience as both a prime contractor and subcontractor providing medical research and services to various federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Institutes of Health.
