The $732,001.00 grant is being provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research related to the long-term stability and calibration of the SABER instrument, which is used to monitor atmospheric composition and dynamics. The research involves tracking the radiance-per-count scale factor over time to identify changes in the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $746,985.56 Cooperative Agreement to the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), a campus of the University of Nebraska system, to conduct research and develop technologies to support astronaut health and performance for space exploration missions. The project aligns with the goals of NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate and Human Research Program, which seek to discover effective countermeasures against the...
- This federal contract award is a $150,000.00 grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, doing business as Rbhs-New Jersey Medical School, a non-profit 1862 land grant college and educational institution. The grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center for a ground-based tissue sharing project to study the effects of low dose/low fluence space ionizing radiation on the mitochondrial stress response in the heart. The research will...
- This federal contract award to Delaware State University, a historically black university and land-grant institution, is valued at $47,755.00. The contract is for research to investigate the relationship between atomic compositions in Ge-Sn-O thin film alloys and their electrical and optical properties. This work aims to utilize these materials in microbolometer sensing layers and integrate them with plasmonic absorbers, which could enable new applications in adaptive sensors and micro-sensors...
- This is a $3,625,902.50 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF), a non-profit organization affiliated with Old Dominion University. The grant is part of NASA's Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC) program, which aligns with the National Space Grant Program objectives of promoting STEM education, establishing a national network of universities with aerospace capabilities, encouraging...
- This federal contract award, valued at $99,999.99, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New York University (NYU) School of Medicine, a leading academic medical center and research institution. The contract aims to study the adverse cardiopulmonary effects of exposure to extraterrestrial dusts and their implications for space travel. The research will build upon preliminary investigations that have revealed differences in pulmonary inflammation caused by...
The federal contract award NNX15AU34H was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Norfolk State University. The $98,728.54 training grant is for the development of a novel nanosensor that can detect low concentrations of proteins associated with coronary heart disease. The goal is to improve NASA's understanding of the effects of long-duration spaceflight on cardiovascular physiology using a non-invasive monitoring method. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was competed openly. This contract supports NASA's Johnson Space Center's research into the impact of spaceflight on the human body, with potential application for a cost-effective, real-time health monitoring system. As a historically black college and university (HBCU), Norfolk State University has received multiple federal grants and contracts to advance STEM education and research, reflecting its role in serving underrepresented communities.
