- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) for the "Ring-Sheared Drop (RSD)" project. The RSD technology was originally developed to study the formation of amyloid fibrils, which are associated with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The grant, worth $76,599.00, supports the construction of an RSD module for deployment aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in...
- This is a $243,899.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university, to conduct research addressing questions from NASA's Space Biology Research Plan. The research will focus on the role of hematopoietic stem cells in the hepatic (liver) response to simulated spaceflight conditions. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation. RPI has a history of executing complex federal contracts...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC20K1726, was made by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university located in Troy, New York. The 2-year, $387,863.27 grant is for a project to study the process of amyloid fibril formation at gas-liquid interfaces with imposed shear. No set-aside designation was used for this award. In addition to this grant, RPI holds a notable Other Transaction (OT) Indefinite Delivery...
- This $599,519.00 federal grant award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) is for a project to design and manufacture three-dimensional hierarchical structures (3DHS) using scalable fabrication methods. The award is not associated with a set-aside designation. RPI is a private research university that specializes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, and has a substantial portfolio of federal contract and grant awards. This grant funding is likely part of...
- This federal contract award, with the identification number 80NSSC20K0307, was granted to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university located in Troy, New York. The $44,000 grant is for research aimed at elucidating the global impact of environmental stressors on biological systems in the spaceflight environment. The award is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) GeneLab data repository program, which supports hypothesis-driven spaceflight...
- Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) received a $120,000 research grant award from a Civilian Shared Services Center federal agency, effective September 1, 2025, with completion targeted for August 31, 2026. This non-set-aside grant supports research activities to be conducted at RPI's Troy, New York campus. The award is intended to generate novel, cross-disciplinary research proposals for submission to relevant National Aeronautics and Space Administration Research and Analysis programs,...
- Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) received a $900,000 research grant awarded on May 1, 2023, by a civilian federal agency to investigate the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and senescence in inhibiting tissue regeneration during spaceflight and to evaluate a novel countermeasure known as pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ). The contract, which runs through April 30, 2026, is structured as a research grant with no set-aside designation, reflecting RPI's competitive standing in the open...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $500,000.00 grant to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private university and non-profit organization located in Troy, New York. The grant is for a research program focused on laser processing simulation and modeling of powder melting, solidification, and microstructure development in additive manufacturing processes. The objectives include predicting thermal transients, deformations, solute distribution, phase formation,...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), a private university. The $197,340 grant is funding research to investigate the effects of pre-shear history on the transient extensional viscosity of viscoelastic materials using data from the Shear History Extensional Rheology Experiment (SHERE) conducted on the International Space Station. The research...
- This federal contract award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), a private research university, is for the execution of a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The $274,996.24 grant is focused on advancing discovery in emerging fields through cross-disciplinary opportunities, with a target-user focused approach to applied programs including Earth science...
This is a $108,156 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) for a project to study the effects of shear on amyloid fibril formation in microgravity. The goal is to collect design data for the Ring-Sheared Drop (RSD) module that will be tested aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This grant builds on prior NASA-funded research between RPI, the Marshall Space Flight Center, and the Glenn Research Center on the "Amyloid Fibril Formation in Microgravity" project. The new grant will utilize parabolic flight testing to demonstrate the RSD technology and enable further development of the module for its ISS mission. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting RPI's strong technical capabilities in this area of fluid dynamics research for space applications.
