- 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...
- This is a $99,852 research grant awarded by NASA to Florida State University (FSU) for a study on the adaptations of the venous circulation in the human body to simulated microgravity, lunar gravity, and Martian gravity conditions. The grant aims to increase knowledge of cardiovascular function and potential health risks for astronauts in deep space missions, including the planned Artemis missions to the Moon, which will send the first female astronaut. The study will investigate functional,...
- 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 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 research is aimed at developing cell-based countermeasures to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $698,314.09, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The contract supports research and modeling efforts to better understand Visual Impairment/Intracranial Pressure (VIIP) syndrome, a condition that affects some astronauts during long-duration spaceflight. The research aims to develop computational models that can quantify the...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $199,408.00 grant for research to Florida State University's Sponsored Research Administration Division. The grant, entitled "SINGLE SOURCE, RODENT RESEARCH STANDARD HOUSING MISSION: MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING SPACEFLIGHT RESPONSES", is for a research project with a performance period ending on February 6, 2025. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Florida State...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Imec USA Nanoelectronics Design Center, Inc., a non-profit research organization, for three research projects related to the effects of microgravity on the human body. The three projects are: Evaluation of hindlimb suspension as a model to study ophthalmic complications in microgravity, including ocular structure, function, and association with intracranial pressure. A gene expression and histologic approach...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AR26G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Kansas State University (KSU) to conduct research on the effects of microgravity on cardiovascular and bone health. The $198,100.00 grant will support a 30-day bed rest study to simulate the impacts of spaceflight, with the goal of identifying biomarkers that can be used to evaluate astronaut health. The research will investigate changes in endothelial cell function,...
- This federal contract award is a $1,148,684.00 grant for research to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, a prominent U.S. government entity and educational institution specializing in biomedical research. The award, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund a study on Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS), which affects up to 40% of astronauts on long-duration spaceflights. The research aims to clarify the pathophysiology of SANS by...
This federal contract award, valued at $913,566.31, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of microgravity on cerebral arterial, venous, and lymphatic function. The research aims to understand the implications for increased intracranial pressure and potential visual acuity impairment in astronauts during spaceflight. The contract, which does not utilize a set-aside, supports a 13-day spaceflight study on mice to evaluate changes in myogenic vasoconstriction, vascular structure, and mechanical properties of cerebral arteries. The findings indicate that spaceflight induces reductions in vasoconstriction and arterial stiffness, as well as increases in maximal diameter, suggesting elevated brain blood flow may occur during spaceflight. This contract is part of NASA's broader program to understand the physiological effects of microgravity exposure on astronaut health and performance.
