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...
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...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a research grant valued at $3,669,042.00 to the University of Washington (UW) to measure intracranial pressure (ICP) in astronauts before, during, and after long-duration spaceflight on the International Space Station (ISS). The research aims to determine if the visual impairment and intracranial pressure (VIIP) syndrome observed in some astronauts is related to changes in ICP, which could help NASA...
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 federal contract award, valued at $913,566.31, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) to study the effects of microgravity on cerebral arterial, venous, and lymphatic function. The research aims to understand the implications for increased intracranial pressure and potential visual acuity impairment in astronauts during spaceflight. The contract, which does not utilize a set-aside, supports a 13-day spaceflight study on mice...
This federal award is a grant for $994,678 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), doing business as the Office of Research Administration. The grant supports research on the effects of real microgravity on human neural stem cells and oligodendrocytes, aimed at understanding the causes of increased intracranial pressure and visual impairment observed in astronauts after long-duration space missions. The research will...
This $551,118 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Baylor College of Medicine to monitor the physiological and anatomical effects of two different regimens of intermittent centrifugation-induced artificial gravity, with a focus on the brain, eye, and vestibular system responses. The specific aims are to evaluate the cerebral physiological effects of artificial gravity during a 60-day bed rest period and assess the acute dynamic changes in the...
This is a $85,430.42 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to conduct a three-year programmatic investigation into team task switching for astronaut crews on the International Space Station (ISS). The research aims to develop concrete countermeasures to mitigate the risks of inadequate cooperation, coordination, communication, and...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1521, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), a research organization within the Texas A&M University System. The objective of this $367,029 ground-based research effort is to generate acute gravitational dose-response curves of cardiovascular and ocular variables due to changes in the gravitational vector, with and without countermeasures. This research...
This is a $100,000.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), a for-profit research and development company. The contract builds upon PSI's previous SBIR Phase II work on a novel ophthalmic imaging platform to characterize and monitor potential visual impairment observed in long-duration spaceflight. The Phase II-X program has two main objectives: 1) Demonstrate...
