The award does not have a set-aside designation. MGH has received numerous federal...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1500, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The General Hospital Corporation (MGH) to conduct research on understanding human performance under various partial-gravity loadings. The $400,000 grant aims to support NASA's crewed mission strategies, particularly for Mars landings, which require the crew to use robotic teleoperation within 24 hours. This contract is not set aside for any specific designation. MGH, a...
- 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 research grant, awarded to Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) by the National Institutes of Health on April 22, 2019, provides $1.74 million to investigate the physiological effects of sleep during long-duration spaceflight missions. The study employs an integrated approach to examine how sleep quality and duration influence cognitive performance, intracranial fluid distribution, and immune response among International Space Station (ISS) crewmembers participating in the Integrated...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0844, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian government agency, to The General Hospital Corporation's Research Management Division, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). The $849,622 grant will fund a collaborative research project between MGH and the University of California at Davis to assess individual and team problem-solving skills, with a focus on team coherence, adaptability, and trust, in the context of future...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). The award is focused on understanding how prebiotically available chemicals self-assembled into simple protocells capable of growth, division, and Darwinian evolution. The research explores the potential roles of three classes of short peptides (basic, acidic, and hydrophobic) in...
- This is a $449,914 grant awarded to The Mclean Hospital Corporation, a non-profit psychiatric teaching hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School, by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The grant is for an "Integrated CNS Assessment in Rodent Models of Altered Gravity and Irradiation" research project, with a period of performance ending on March 12, 2026. The hospital has demonstrated expertise in providing specialized...
- This is a $686,978 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (BIDMC), a non-profit academic medical center in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is for a research project to determine the effects of varying partial gravity levels on bone, muscle, and soft tissues of the hip and knee joints in adult mice flown aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The research aims to assess whether partial gravity, either induced...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $75,100.00 firm fixed price purchase order to The General Hospital Corporation Research Management Division, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), for laser beam time at the MGH Burr Proton Therapy Center. This contract is not set-aside and has an ultimate completion date of December 30, 2024. MGH is a 999-bed medical center and the primary teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, conducting extensive...
This is a $666,025.15 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to study operational performance and physiological changes during long-duration spaceflight analog missions in the NASA HERA (Human Exploration Research Analog) facility. The project aims to 1) characterize changes in operational task performance, brain and systemic physiology, and identify predictors of performance during 45-day HERA missions; and 2) quantify the influence of behavioral health countermeasures on performance and physiology. MGH will utilize the Robotic On-Board Trainer (ROBOT) system and the NINSCAN-SE multi-use system to assess crew performance and physiological metrics, including during simulated operational emergencies. The grant runs through April 2025 and is not associated with any set-aside designations.
