- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $200,000.00 grant to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center (Texas A&M Univ Hlth SCI CTR) to examine the effects of space-relevant radiation on the immune system, vascular architecture, and metabolome (bacterial products) of the gastrointestinal tract. This grant-funded research project has a completion date of July 31, 2022. Texas A&M Univ Hlth SCI CTR is an institution of higher...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. (JCVI), a non-profit genomic research organization, for a study on the impact of diet on the human immune system, gut microbiota, and nutritional status during spaceflight. The $232,937 grant will fund an interdisciplinary study to compare the effects of the current spaceflight diet to an "enhanced" diet with more omega-3 fatty acids, lycopene,...
- This is a $899,994.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University to conduct research on the effects of microgravity on skeletal muscle. The research aims to understand how skeletal muscle adapts to the mechanical unloading experienced in microgravity environments, which can lead to muscle atrophy, weakness, and increased risk of injury upon return to a gravitational environment. This research is critical to support the health and...
- This is a $400,616 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. (JCVI), a non-profit genomic research organization. The grant aims to study the effects of an "enhanced" spaceflight diet, with increased consumption of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lycopene, flavonoids, fruits, and vegetables, on immune function, gut microbiota, and nutritional status of crew members in ground-based analogs and on International...
- This is a $143,397.62 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center. The grant, titled "ROSBIO New Investigator Award", aims to determine the impact of the shift in gut microbiome on the function of the lymphatic and immune systems of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as whether restoring a key metabolite, histidine, can alleviate the observed changes. The...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University, is a $299,683.70 grant to study the effects of microgravity on the coupling and communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, the cells responsible for bone remodeling. The goal is to identify countermeasures, such as the use of bisphosphonates or anti-RANKL antibodies, to mitigate the...
- 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 federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K1639, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, a child entity of the University of Texas System. The $1,030,692 grant aims to acquire data on cardiovascular impairments and associated biomarkers observed in patients undergoing cardiac exposure to ionizing radiation, with a focus on non-invasive imaging modalities. The research is...
- This federal contract award is a $1,148,684.00 grant for research to Texas A&M University System Health Science Center, a prominent U.S. government entity and educational institution specializing in biomedical research. The award, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund a study on Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS), which affects up to 40% of astronauts on long-duration spaceflights. The research aims to clarify the pathophysiology of SANS by...
