- This is a $821,751 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to conduct research on cancer risks from galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events for astronauts on prolonged space missions. UTHSCSA, a state-controlled institution of higher learning within the University of Texas System, will utilize transgenic mouse models to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying...
- This is a $2,478,052.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) in Dallas, Texas. The grant is part of NASA's "MOUSE MODELS OF CANCER RISK AND PREVENTION FROM SPACE RADIATION" program and supports research on the molecular effects of low-dose space radiation exposure. The objective is to use mouse models to understand how different types and doses of radiation impact the...
- This federal contract award to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) is a $2,461,498.00 grant for research sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The purpose is to evaluate the efficacy of the drug GC4419, a superoxide dismutase mimetic, in mitigating space radiation-induced carcinogenesis, with a focus on lung cancer. This research aims to identify effective biological countermeasures that can increase the amount of time astronauts...
- This is a $1,199,998.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) for research evaluating the cellular and molecular responses of lung and liver cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with varying intrinsic radiosensitivity to space radiation. The award is a research grant with no set-aside designation, with a performance period through December 31, 2025. UT Southwestern is...
- 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 is a $149,840 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) to conduct research on sex-specific biomarkers related to space radiation-induced lymphoma. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a component of the University of Texas System, UT Southwestern has an extensive history of supporting federal research and clinical initiatives across various agencies, including the...
- This $179,871.47 federal grant award to Texas A&M University was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the effects of space radiation and microgravity on the cardiovascular system. The research aims to understand how space flight imposes unique stressors on astronauts, particularly the damage and fibrosis that can occur in the heart and vasculature due to radiation exposure. The grant will fund a series of mouse studies using X-ray, heavy ion, and...
- This is a $705,790 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Prairie View A&M University, a historically black land-grant university in Texas. The grant supports research to develop and validate computational models for predicting biological damage from mixed field radiation exposures, such as those expected in space environments. The research aims to reduce uncertainties in cancer risk models by studying chromosome aberrations induced by chronic low-dose...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $318,782.00 cooperative agreement to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) to develop a series of 12 short-term risk models for cardiovascular disease (CVD) assessment to apply the effects of radiation exposure. This project is not associated with any set-aside designation. UT Southwestern, an academic medical center in Dallas, Texas, is a component of the University of Texas System. The university...
- This is a $2,399,358.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia to conduct research on the health effects of exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). The research aims to better understand the mechanisms by which GCR, particularly its high charge and energy (HZE) particle components, can lead to chronic DNA damage and impairment of DNA repair machinery, which may contribute to increased cancer risk for astronauts on...
