- This is a $175,887.27 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Delaware, a private research university, for a project titled "Synthetic Biology for Recycling Human Waste into Nutraceuticals and Materials: Closing the Loop for Long-Term Space Travel". The grant is to fund research on using synthetic biology techniques to recycle human waste into useful products like nutraceuticals and materials, which could have applications for...
- This is a $524,704 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Clemson University to execute a balanced science program. The contract supports Clemson's participation as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research related to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The grant requires Clemson to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines. It also...
- This $98,982 grant award to Clemson University's Division of Research is to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The award calls for Clemson to participate as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. Clemson will also advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) to characterize microorganisms from the International Space Station (ISS) that can assist in the decomposition of complex organic matter during spaceflight. The key objectives are to identify ISS microbial species that can degrade plant matter, genetically engineer mutants of those microbes to improve their efficiency, and examine their protein profiles and gene...
- Clemson University's Division of Research received a $76,950 grant award from a civilian federal agency on September 11, 2024, with a completion date of March 10, 2026. The grant supports a balanced science program aligned with discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, along with administration priorities and congressional direction. The work encompasses participation in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research...
- This is a $274,455 grant award to Clemson University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the "Chemical Evolution of the Building Blocks of the Solar System". Clemson University is the prime contractor for this research grant, which has a period of performance through September 30, 2023. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Clemson University is a public research institution with particular expertise in areas like space science,...
- This is a $400,616 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. (JCVI), a non-profit genomic research organization. The grant aims to study the effects of an "enhanced" spaceflight diet, with increased consumption of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lycopene, flavonoids, fruits, and vegetables, on immune function, gut microbiota, and nutritional status of crew members in ground-based analogs and on International...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $198,354.38 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This university-led project aims to systematically characterize changes in microbial cell growth dynamics, aggregation, drug resistance, and virulence across simulated micro-, lunar (1/6 g), and Martian (1/3 g) gravity environments. The research will utilize spaceflight...
- NASA awarded a $744,428.59 research grant to Weill Medical College of Cornell University on January 25, 2022, to support the Space Biology Program's investigation into how spaceflight and microgravity affect biological organisms. The project utilizes advanced molecular analysis technologies including spatial transcriptomics, single-nucleus RNA-sequencing, and multi-omic spatial mapping to examine gene expression changes and cell signaling pathways in microorganisms, plants, and animals exposed...
- This is a $450,000.00 grant awarded to Clemson University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to execute a balanced science program. The contract requires Clemson to participate as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. It also directs Clemson to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science...
This is a $828,256.73 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Clemson University's Division of Research to develop synthetic biology technologies that can convert human waste and other in-situ resources into food, nutraceuticals, medicine, and materials for long-term space travel missions. The project focuses on engineering yeast to convert carbon dioxide, algae biomass, and human urine into nutritional omega-3 fats and 3D printable plastics. This work aims to enable astronauts to produce the critical supplies they need on-site during future long-duration space exploration missions, rather than relying on supplies transported from Earth. The award has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2020 and does not use a set-aside designation.
