- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $308,668 research grant to the Doheny Eye Institute, a non-profit organization focused on vision research and patient care. The contract, which is not designated as a set-aside, aims to determine the combined structural and functional ocular alterations caused by the development of optic disc edema in a spaceflight analog environment. This research directly supports NASA's efforts to understand and mitigate vision-related impacts...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Imec USA Nanoelectronics Design Center, Inc., a non-profit research organization, for three research projects related to the effects of microgravity on the human body. The three projects are: Evaluation of hindlimb suspension as a model to study ophthalmic complications in microgravity, including ocular structure, function, and association with intracranial pressure. A gene expression and histologic approach...
- This is a $148,037.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to evaluate the mechanical properties of the dura mater (the outer layer of the meninges) in astronauts and its correlation with the severity of spaceflight-associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS). The research aims to use existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data and computational modeling to quantify...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $139,819.93 grant to Weill Medical College of Cornell University (doing business as Joan & Sanford I Weill Medical College of Cornell University) to conduct research on spaceflight-induced gene expression changes. The grant, titled "OUR PROPOSED EXPERIMENTS WILL ENHANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SPACEFLIGHT-INDUCED GENE EXPRESSION CHANGES BY PERFORMING SINGLE-CELL RNA-SEQUENCING AND SPATIAL RNA-SEQUENCING ON MOUSE TISSUES...
- 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....
- This is a $597,005.29 grant award made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Miami to conduct research on head-down bed rest as a ground-based analog for the visual impairment and intracranial pressure (VIIP) syndrome observed in astronauts following long-duration spaceflight. The study aims to use novel imaging technology to quantify changes in eye globe distortions, optic nerve protrusion, and visual acuity during 30 days of head-down bed rest, and...
- NASA awarded a $940,352 grant to Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), the research division of The General Hospital Corporation, on April 1, 2020, to support research on Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS), a significant medical concern for long-duration spaceflight missions. Under this non-set-aside grant with a completion deadline of March 31, 2026, MGH will develop and provide a comprehensive toolkit for detailed neurophysiological and fluid shift assessment and monitoring to...
- This federal contract award, valued at $698,314.09, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The contract supports research and modeling efforts to better understand Visual Impairment/Intracranial Pressure (VIIP) syndrome, a condition that affects some astronauts during long-duration spaceflight. The research aims to develop computational models that can quantify the...
- 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...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Kansas State University (KSU) for research to determine the effect of spaceflight on the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors and disease in astronauts. The grant will utilize data from the Longitudinal Surveillance of Astronaut Health (LSAH) and Life Sciences Data Archive (LSDA) to investigate whether spaceflight induces a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease in astronauts compared to...
