- This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc), a major academic medical center in Boston, MA. The $254,434 grant is for a research project titled "Vertebral Strength and Fracture Risk Following Long Duration Spaceflight". The objective is to assess changes in bone density and strength of astronauts' lumbar vertebrae using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) scans, in order to determine the...
- Wake Forest University Health Sciences was awarded a sole-source grant valued at $300,000 on July 1, 2024, to develop injury assessment reference values for the lumbar spine applicable to spaceflight use cases. The work, to be completed by June 30, 2026, will be performed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This research grant supports the advancement of human spaceflight safety by establishing evidence-based biomechanical thresholds and assessment methodologies specific to spinal injuries that...
- Wake Forest University Health Sciences has been awarded a sole-source grant valued at $300,000 to develop injury assessment reference values for the neck applicable to spaceflight use cases. The grant, awarded July 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2026, is funded through a Shared Services Center civilian agency and will be performed in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This research initiative aligns with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's emphasis on human...
- This is a $300,000.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to examine the effects of simulated microgravity on bone cells and bone health. The grant, which runs from July 2018 to December 2023, has two main goals: 1) to study the response of normal and genetically modified (CRISPR-edited) mouse bone cells to simulated microgravity conditions in vitro using a specialized bioreactor, and 2) to examine the impact...
- This is a $296,907.57 grant awarded by NASA to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University) to study the effects of microgravity and partial microgravity on bone remodeling, as well as evaluate hypergravity as a countermeasure for microgravity-induced bone loss. The objective is to understand the underlying causes of bone loss experienced by astronauts during long-duration spaceflight and develop effective countermeasures to sustain bone health, which...
- This is a $1,999,998.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Indiana University, a public research university, for a project titled "Foundational In Vivo Experiments on Osteocyte Biology in Space". The purpose of the grant is to study the effects of long-term spaceflight on bone health, with a focus on understanding the biological changes in osteocytes (bone cells) and bone matrix properties that...
- This $949,055.36 research grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of weightlessness on the human body. The purpose is to examine how simulated microgravity impacts the structure and function of various organ systems, including the cardiovascular, lymphatic, digestive, musculoskeletal, visual, and neural systems. The research will use a rat model to contrast the adaptations induced by head-ward fluid shifts versus full or partial...
- 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...
- Duke University's Office of Research Administration has been awarded an $800,000 research grant by the NASA Shared Services Center, with a completion date of November 30, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports a multi-disciplinary investigation into the cardiovascular effects of environmental stressors encountered during space exploration, specifically examining the individual and combined impacts of galactic cosmic radiation and weightlessness on cardiac biology. The research leverages two...
- 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...
