- This contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Baylor College of Medicine, is for a Pilot Study of Artificial Gravity. The $47,501.00 grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation, indicating that Baylor College of Medicine competed for this award on an unrestricted basis. As a leading academic medical center, Baylor College of Medicine has an extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants, particularly with the National Institutes of...
- This is a $392,133.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) to investigate whether 30 minutes of artificial gravity per day, delivered either continuously or in six, five-minute intermittent blocks, can mitigate changes that occur in a spaceflight analog environment. The grant, which is not set aside, will fund a 60-day head-down tilt bed rest study to assess the effectiveness of the artificial gravity countermeasure on...
- This $2,926,098 federal grant award to Baylor College of Medicine, a private non-profit health sciences university in Houston, Texas, is for a long-term study to determine the health consequences of the Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) and related brain alterations from long-duration spaceflight. The key objectives of the study are to 1) assess the long-term health impacts of SANS and associated ocular changes, and 2) evaluate the long-term health implications of...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $579,723 grant to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) on April 10, 2018 to conduct research on the effects of artificial gravity on neuroplasticity and behavioral health during long-duration spaceflight. The overarching goal is to quantify the impact of different intermittent artificial gravity protocols on cortical neuroplasticity, neural control of the cardiovascular system, and spatial cognition during 60-day...
- This contract is a $263,057.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Baylor College of Medicine, a private, non-profit university and research institution located in Houston, Texas. The grant aims to evaluate the impact of space biomedical research on operational space medicine as it relates to NASA's policy and oversight responsibilities. Baylor will assign a physician-scientist to work at NASA Headquarters within the Human Exploration and Operations...
- 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...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct a pilot study on the use of artificial gravity as a countermeasure for the physiological effects of bed rest. The $481,273.00 grant has an ultimate completion date of December 30, 2005 and is a research contract with no set-aside designation. MIT, a private non-profit research university, will perform the work in Cambridge,...
- 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...
- The University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs was awarded a $3.97 million research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 5, 2016, to conduct a comprehensive study measuring intracranial pressure (ICP) in astronauts during long-duration spaceflight aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The research initiative, titled "Zero G and ICP: Invasive & Noninvasive ICP Monitoring of Astronauts on ISS," will track invasive and noninvasive ICP measurements...
