- This federal contract award, with an ID of NNX17AB12G, was granted to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $401,869.14 grant is designed to identify novel metabolomic biomarkers in serum and urine that can detect and monitor physiological disturbances due to bed rest, which simulates the effects of microgravity in space. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of countermeasures such as exercise or exercise with...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $159,669.00 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in December 2018 to conduct the Venous Congestion Countermeasure Study under the Human Research Program. The study, led by Principal Investigator M. Stenger, will involve participation from two external co-investigators, including A. Hargens from UCSD. No human subject testing is allowed until the protocol is approved by NASA's Institutional Review Board. The...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is for the continuation of a previously funded project focused on developing an automated microfluidic platform for plasma/serum isolation from whole blood and a graphene-field effect transistor-based, amplification-free miRNA detection assay. The $63,059 cooperative agreement, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will allow UCSD to optimize both components of the platform to enhance...
- This is a $481,343.11 grant award from NASA to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to conduct research related to monitoring astronaut health during long-duration human space flight. The grant is focused on developing in-situ health monitoring capabilities and intervention approaches to address changes in astronaut health and onset of disease in the space environment. The award is not set aside for a particular business type....
- This federal contract award, valued at $208,750.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research related to the Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS). The contract aims to investigate the effects of microgravity on human physiology, with a focus on developing countermeasures to address issues like loss of muscle and bone mass, cardiovascular deconditioning, and changes to the eye....
- This is a $785,218.56 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) for a research project titled "PROBING THE SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF RADIATION, ALTERED GRAVITY AND STRESS ON BEHAVIORAL COGNITIVE AND SENSORIMOTOR FUNCTIONS TO PREDICT PERFORMANCE DECREMENT IN ASTRONAUTS". The research aims to study how the combined factors of radiation, altered gravity, and stress impact the behavioral,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $164,531.76 training grant contract to the University of California, Merced (UCM) on August 31, 2018. The contract aims to develop portable, nanoengineered electrochemical biosensors to monitor key biomarkers like cardiac troponin I, which is critical for assessing cardiovascular health risks during long-duration space missions. UCM, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, will leverage...
- This is a $70,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant is focused on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields through...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $299,996.00 grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research aimed at using transcriptomic analyses to determine the gravity-sensitive molecular pathways important for organogenesis. This research aligns with NASA's Space Biology Plan to investigate the effect of the space environment on life and addresses how microgravity impacts tissue morphogenesis and stem cell differentiation....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $284,488.66 Training Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) on August 1, 2018 for the proposal "Biologically-Derived Immunosorbent Nanoparticles for Deep Space Pharmacological Life Support Systems." The research aims to develop a sustainable method to purify pharmaceuticals for long-duration space exploration using engineered plant viruses as immunosorbents. The project is aligned with NASA's Center for...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) aims to identify novel early biomarkers in plasma and urine to detect and monitor the physiological disturbances experienced by crew members during long-duration space missions. The $192,526.15 grant-funded research project will apply targeted and untargeted metabolomics to samples collected from participants in a 30-day simulated spaceflight environment, combining head-down bed rest with elevated carbon dioxide levels. The goal is to identify biomarkers for visual impairment/intracranial pressure, subclinical or environmentally-induced cardiovascular disease, muscle atrophy, and bone loss. This research directly addresses gaps in NASA's Integrated Research Plan. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, and UCSD is the prime awardee, with the State of California Controller's Office as the parent organization.
