- This federal contract award to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) supports research to optimize radiation dose rates and exposure sequences for a Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) simulator being developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The goal is to better simulate the radiation risks faced by astronauts on deep space missions. The $2,284,386.00 grant will fund experiments to determine the limiting low dose rate for protons and the optimal time...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC22K1098, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, a public university system serving as a Hispanic Serving Institution and comprehensive research university. The $520,826 grant is for a research project titled "CHARACTERIZING EXPECTED UNCERTAINTY IN SPACEBORNE HIGH-RESOLUTION TERRAIN MODELS FOR EXAMINING SURFACE PROCESSES", with a performance period ending on June 14, 2026....
- This federal contract award, valued at $675,814.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, a state-controlled institution of higher learning. The contract is for a research grant titled "EO14042 NEW OBSERVING STRATEGIES FOR BEACH AND DUNE TOPOGRAPHY AND IMPLICATIONS FOR COASTAL FLOOD RISK" and has a period of performance through June 14, 2026. The contract was not set aside for any specific business type. The...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AE48G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. The contract, valued at $244,177.39, is a grant for research on the effects of microgravity on the cardiovascular system, specifically the interaction between endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial stem/progenitor cells.

- This $649,850 grant award to the University of Houston System, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract is focused on developing advanced networking and communications capabilities to support the "Upcoming Lunar Networking Scenario and Beyond," which envisions the integration of diverse space assets owned by different government and commercial providers. The...
This federal contract award, valued at $665,522.60, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System to study the impact of modeled microgravity and prior radiation exposure on cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation. The research aims to understand how the spaceflight environment can initiate active CMV infections, which pose significant health risks to astronauts during long-duration exploration missions. The study will utilize the rotating wall vessel (RWV) cell culture system to simulate microgravity and assess changes in CMV virulence, infectivity, and interactions with the host immune system. This work is intended to inform the development of countermeasures to mitigate the risks of CMV reactivation during future exploration-class spaceflight missions. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, and the University of Houston System is the prime contractor with no major subcontractors identified.
