- This is a $2,508,591.16 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the long-term, multigenerational effects of microgravity on microbial populations. The research aims to characterize genomic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic changes in the model pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium in response to chronic stress and selective pressures in the spaceflight environment. This grant addresses two key research emphases from NASA's...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project. The $194,617.59 grant will fund research to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens in the International Space Station (ISS) habitat and correlate their presence with crew health. The project aims to catalog viruses and...
- Arizona State University (ASU), through its Orspa division, received a $749,999 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with a performance location in Tempe, Arizona. The award, issued on November 1, 2019, supports research examining the role of microorganisms as regulators of human health and their impact on human built environments, specifically the International Space Station (ISS). The research focuses on understanding how microbes adapt to the unique...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $198,354.38 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This university-led project aims to systematically characterize changes in microbial cell growth dynamics, aggregation, drug resistance, and virulence across simulated micro-, lunar (1/6 g), and Martian (1/3 g) gravity environments. The research will utilize spaceflight...
- Arizona State University (ASU), through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration, was awarded a $284,736 research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 26, 2024, to investigate the effects of lunar dust simulant on human three-dimensional biomimetic intestinal models, enteric microorganisms, and infectious disease risks. The research will be conducted at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus with an ultimate completion date of February 25, 2027. This award carries no set-aside...
- This federal contract award is for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project, which will generate microbial censuses of the International Space Station (ISS) using culture-based methods and molecular techniques. The objectives are to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens and correlate their presence with crew health. The $613,747.36 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $149,575.99 grant to the University of Arizona for a ground-based New Space Biology research project. The project will investigate the epigenetic effects of ionizing radiation and microgravity on gene expression related to DNA damage response and cell cycle control in human mammary epithelial cells. The research aims to better understand how the space environment can alter endocrine regulation of these cellular processes. This...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $139,819.93 grant to Weill Medical College of Cornell University (doing business as Joan & Sanford I Weill Medical College of Cornell University) to conduct research on spaceflight-induced gene expression changes. The grant, titled "OUR PROPOSED EXPERIMENTS WILL ENHANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SPACEFLIGHT-INDUCED GENE EXPRESSION CHANGES BY PERFORMING SINGLE-CELL RNA-SEQUENCING AND SPATIAL RNA-SEQUENCING ON MOUSE TISSUES...
- The Regents of The University of Colorado received a $522,774.39 research grant awarded on May 1, 2019, by a civilian federal agency to conduct a systematic investigation of how space radiation, microgravity, and their combined effects impact cellular function. The project utilizes a molecularly barcoded yeast genome-wide knockdown collection as a model organism system, leveraging the fact that approximately 70 percent of yeast's essential genes share significant human homologs. The experimental...
- 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,...
