- 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 is a $6,369,940.00 cooperative agreement awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian government agency, to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), a non-profit organization based in Bethesda, Maryland. The purpose of this contract is to conduct record-linkage studies of U.S. Department of Energy worker populations to determine if dementia, related conditions, and cognitive function scores can be associated with high-LET alpha-particle doses to the...
- 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 $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...
- NASA awarded a $1.88 million research grant to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF) on December 2, 2015, to investigate the effects of hadron particle radiation exposure on astronaut cognitive function during deep space missions. The research, titled "Hadron-Induced Impairment of Executive Function: Role of Perturbed Neurotransmission and the Exacerbating Impact of Sleep Deprivation," addresses critical knowledge gaps in understanding how cosmic radiation impacts...
- This is a $2,773,956 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Loma Linda University (LLU), a private, non-profit educational institution in California. The grant is for the "Definition Phase Only" of research to study the effects of space radiation on the central nervous system. LLU will expose adult mice to various charged particle mixtures found in space, including protons, helium, oxygen, and silicon, at different dose rates over long time...
- 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...
- 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...
- This is a $1,280,770 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the National Council On Radiation Protection & Measurements (NCRP), a non-profit organization based in Bethesda, MD. The purpose of the contract is to determine whether sex differences exist for radiation-induced lung cancers across exposed populations, address the issues of transferring radiation risk data from the Japanese atomic bomb survivors to the...
- This $540,200 cost-plus-fixed-fee grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to New York Medical College, a subsidiary of Touro University, to study the long-term consequences of cosmic radiation exposure. Over the three-year period of performance ending January 2023, the contractor will evaluate the impact of heavy ion radiation like iron-56 and protons on cardiovascular function and identify pathways that lead to radiation-induced...
