- This is a $2,121,119 grant awarded by NASA to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF) to conduct research on the effects of high-energy particles on the brain function and cognitive abilities of astronauts during deep space missions. The research aims to determine the threshold dose levels for specific types of cognitive impairments, such as spatial memory and attentional set shifting, following exposure to iron, titanium, and silicon particles. The study will also identify...
- This is a three-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), a non-profit organization based in Bethesda, Maryland. The grant is for an in-depth study to more fully understand the risk of central nervous system (CNS) effects following radiation exposures in space and to provide guidance for risk management and radiation protection. The grant is a follow-on to a previous Phase 1 effort...
- This federal contract award was granted to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF), a non-profit research organization affiliated with Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. The $2,227,716.00 grant is for a research project that aims to determine the single and synergistic effects of in-flight stressors, such as microgravity, social isolation, and space radiation, on biological and functional challenges that astronauts may face during space missions. The research will...
- The University of Pennsylvania received a $2.47 million research grant from NASA, awarded June 1, 2019, with a completion date of September 30, 2033. This international collaborative effort, conducted jointly with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the European Space Agency (ESA), addresses critical Human Research Program (HRP) risks related to adverse cognitive and behavioral conditions during extended space missions. The project focuses on the Integrated One-Year Mission Project (I1YMP)...
- This $9,007,528.58 federal grant award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) is focused on resolving the mechanisms leading to radiation-induced cognitive dysfunction in humans exposed to the space radiation environment. The research aims to improve risk estimates for early and late central nervous system (CNS) effects caused by this exposure. The grant involves a comprehensive series of mechanistic studies analyzing the...
- This $174,992.99 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute to conduct research on the effects of galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) on cognitive function in mice and evaluate the potential mitigating effects of the anti-inflammatory compound CDDO-EA. The research aims to better understand the acute and long-term central nervous system risks for astronauts exposed to GCR, which is an unavoidable...
- This is a $2,476,960 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc., a research hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School. The grant will fund a 4-year research study to determine the short- and long-term effects of various types of space radiation, including iron, proton, oxygen-16, and mixed beams, on cognition, motor abilities, fatigue, anxiety, and cardiovascular and brain health in Alzheimer's disease mouse models....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,723 grant to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) on April 10, 2018 to conduct research on the effects of artificial gravity on neuroplasticity and behavioral health during long-duration spaceflight. The overarching goal is to quantify the impact of different intermittent artificial gravity protocols on cortical neuroplasticity, neural control of the cardiovascular system, and spatial cognition during 60-day...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $115,332.01 research grant to Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education, doing business as Temple University, to study the potential cardiovascular effects of ionizing space radiation exposure on astronauts during long-duration space missions to the Moon and Mars. The grant aims to determine qualitative differences and quantify radiobiological effective thresholds for biological damage induced by various...
- The University of Pennsylvania was awarded a $2.27 million research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct long-term research on brain structural and functional consequences of spaceflight. The grant, awarded on March 15, 2021, will extend through September 30, 2033, and will be performed at the university's Philadelphia campus. This research aligns with federal interests in understanding the physiological impacts of extended space missions on human neurological systems, with potential...
