This federal contract award to Prairie View A&M University, a historically Black land-grant university in Texas, supports a research study on the combined effects of microgravity and space radiation on human cells. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is providing $722,711.44 in grant funding for this project, which aims to establish a baseline for understanding the molecular and cellular responses to simultaneous exposure to these space environmental stressors. The...
This is a $143,862.18 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Texas Southern University, a minority-serving and historically Black college and university located in Houston, Texas. The grant supports research to assess the sensitivity of human fibroblasts and epithelial cells to different types of radiation exposure, using various genetic and transcriptional markers. No set-aside designation is indicated. Through its prime...
This is a $48,228.22 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to Prairie View A&M University, a minority-serving institution, to explore the impact of a NASA robotics pre-engineering camp on underrepresented and underserved high school students. The award has a period of performance ending on December 6, 2022. Prairie View A&M University is a public, historically black land-grant university with extensive experience delivering educational, research, and community services to federal...
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...
This is a $821,751 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to conduct research on cancer risks from galactic cosmic rays and solar particle events for astronauts on prolonged space missions. UTHSCSA, a state-controlled institution of higher learning within the University of Texas System, will utilize transgenic mouse models to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying...
This is a $10,962,716.00 grant awarded by NASA to Colorado State University for the Carcinogenesis NSCOR (NASA Specialized Center of Research) program. The grant consists of four interrelated projects focused on using "omics" approaches to discover biomarkers predictive of cancer outcomes from exposure to high-energy ionizing radiation, like that encountered in space missions. The research aims to better understand radiation carcinogenesis and support development of countermeasures....
This $179,871.47 federal grant award to Texas A&M University was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the effects of space radiation and microgravity on the cardiovascular system. The research aims to understand how space flight imposes unique stressors on astronauts, particularly the damage and fibrosis that can occur in the heart and vasculature due to radiation exposure. The grant will fund a series of mouse studies using X-ray, heavy ion, and...
