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 advance the understanding of how spaceflight induces immune system dysregulation and latent viral reactivation, which can pose risks to astronaut health and mission success during long-duration space exploration. The award is not designated as a set-aside contract. The University of Houston System, as the prime recipient, may collaborate with other institutions like Rice University, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas on this research effort.
