- This federal contract award to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is for the continuation of a previously funded project focused on developing an automated microfluidic platform for plasma/serum isolation from whole blood and a graphene-field effect transistor-based, amplification-free miRNA detection assay. The $63,059 cooperative agreement, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will allow UCSD to optimize both components of the platform to enhance...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) aims to identify novel early biomarkers in plasma and urine to detect and monitor the physiological disturbances experienced by crew members during long-duration space missions. The $192,526.15 grant-funded research project will apply targeted and untargeted metabolomics to samples collected from participants in a 30-day simulated spaceflight environment,...
- The federal contract award NNX15AU34H was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Norfolk State University. The $98,728.54 training grant is for the development of a novel nanosensor that can detect low concentrations of proteins associated with coronary heart disease. The goal is to improve NASA's understanding of the effects of long-duration spaceflight on cardiovascular physiology using a non-invasive monitoring method. The...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of NNX17AB12G, was granted to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $401,869.14 grant is designed to identify novel metabolomic biomarkers in serum and urine that can detect and monitor physiological disturbances due to bed rest, which simulates the effects of microgravity in space. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of countermeasures such as exercise or exercise with...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $284,488.66 Training Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) on August 1, 2018 for the proposal "Biologically-Derived Immunosorbent Nanoparticles for Deep Space Pharmacological Life Support Systems." The research aims to develop a sustainable method to purify pharmaceuticals for long-duration space exploration using engineered plant viruses as immunosorbents. The project is aligned with NASA's Center for...
- This federal contract award, valued at $749,999.22, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under a Cooperative Agreement. The contract is for the development of a self-powered, health monitoring wearable device for non-invasive diagnosis of health disorders in NASA astronauts during space exploration missions. This contract has no set-aside designation. NMSU, a Hispanic-serving, land-grant research university, has extensive...
- This is a $4,919,731 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Merced (UC Merced) to establish the Materials for Energy and Sensing (MACES) Center of Excellence. The center will focus on developing a pipeline for a highly qualified STEM workforce and creating new materials solutions for high-performance, reliable, compact, and lightweight energy and sensing devices for NASA missions. The research will encompass...
- This is a $247,646 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Office of Sponsored Research Services Division at The Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. The grant supports the development of a paper-based plasmonic biosensor device capable of quantifying levels of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), a key biomarker for monitoring astronaut health during spaceflight missions. The device is designed to be compatible...
- This is a $481,343.11 grant award from NASA to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to conduct research related to monitoring astronaut health during long-duration human space flight. The grant is focused on developing in-situ health monitoring capabilities and intervention approaches to address changes in astronaut health and onset of disease in the space environment. The award is not set aside for a particular business type....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $299,996.00 grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research aimed at using transcriptomic analyses to determine the gravity-sensitive molecular pathways important for organogenesis. This research aligns with NASA's Space Biology Plan to investigate the effect of the space environment on life and addresses how microgravity impacts tissue morphogenesis and stem cell differentiation....
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $164,531.76 training grant contract to the University of California, Merced (UCM) on August 31, 2018. The contract aims to develop portable, nanoengineered electrochemical biosensors to monitor key biomarkers like cardiac troponin I, which is critical for assessing cardiovascular health risks during long-duration space missions. UCM, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, will leverage recent discoveries to improve the sensitivity and reproducibility of these biosensors by tailoring the spatial organization of the probe molecules. This effort will combine super-resolution imaging and spatial statistical analysis to engineer highly sensitive and robust electrochemical biosensors at the molecular scale, meeting NASA's stringent requirements. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on April 11, 2023.
