- This is a $899,994.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research on the effects of microgravity on skeletal muscle. The research aims to understand how skeletal muscle adapts to the mechanical unloading experienced in microgravity environments, which can lead to muscle atrophy, weakness, and increased risk of injury upon return to a gravitational environment. This research is critical to support the health and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $200,000.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University under a Cooperative Agreement. The objective is to conduct research on the mechanisms driving skeletal muscle atrophy in astronauts during extended spaceflight. The team, composed of undergraduate students from The Ohio State University and Emory University, will design, build, and test hardware to fly miniaturized tissue-engineered skeletal...
- This is a $265,390.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Houston System for the "EFFICACY OF ORION FLYWHEEL EXERCISE TRAINING IN AMBULATORY SUBJECTS" research project. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is set to run through May 31, 2027. The University of Houston Clear Lake, a branch campus of the University of Houston System, is the awardee and will be performing the research work at...
- This federal contract award, valued at $94,694.68, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University to conduct ground-based studies on tissue-engineered skeletal muscle models. The objective is to better understand the mechanisms driving muscle atrophy during spaceflight, with the goal of developing countermeasures. This award supports the development of miniaturized, functional muscle constructs that can be used to simulate microgravity...
- This federal contract award, valued at $650,162.73, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA), a public research university. The contract aims to develop a multiscale computational model that can predict changes in muscle structure and function in response to both microgravity and in-flight exercise during long-term spaceflight. This model will integrate computational simulations at various spatial...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AG02G, is a grant provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, doing business as the University of Houston, a state-funded institution of higher learning. The grant, valued at $303,385.64, aims to comprehensively determine how spaceflight impacts the anti-viral properties of the immune system, including the function of natural killer cells, T-cells, B-cells, and dendritic cells. This research will...
- 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 is a $455,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a research institution within the Texas A&M University System. The grant is for research activities related to spaceflight, which often require the use of both limbs simultaneously. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026 and does not utilize any set-aside designations. Tees, the prime contractor, is a state government...
- This is a $758,085.77 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas Tech University System, doing business as Texas Tech University, to study the effects of spaceflight on muscle strength in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans. The study aims to (a) demonstrate the flight-readiness of a miniaturized device for measuring worm muscle strength, (b) test the hypothesis that muscle strength decreases in spaceflight due to altered gene expression, and (c) quantify...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center awarded a $541,866.90 firm fixed price delivery order contract to the University of Colorado Boulder to develop tissue engineered muscle in microgravity as a novel platform to study sarcopenia. The University of Colorado will conduct this research under the NASA contract without a set-aside designation. The period of performance is through December 31, 2021 to analyze the effects of microgravity on muscle atrophy and...
