This federal Project Grant award, ID 80NSSC25K7298, was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Space Operations Mission Directorate program (CFDA 43.007). The $100,000 award, effective November 18, 2024 through November 17, 2027, will support research by The Mclean Hospital Corporation in Belmont, MA to delineate the effects of combined exposure to space radiation and sleep fragmentation on brain neurochemistry and cognition. As a leading psychiatric...

The Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded a $750,000 Project Grant under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) to Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences, a private non-profit university in Claremont, California. The grant, titled "AI-FACILITATED ASSESSMENT OF EXOSOME-MEDIATED BYSTANDER EFFECTS OF LOW-DOSE IONIZING RADIATION," will fund research to develop artificial intelligence-powered technologies for assessing the bystander effects...

The University of Iowa was awarded a $1,354,009 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The grant, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, aims to develop clinically deliverable RNA strategies for radiation protection. Specifically, the project will leverage the protective qualities of extremophile proteins and new delivery methods to reduce the impact of radiation-induced injuries...

The U.S. Defense Health Agency awarded a $624,000 Project Grant to Georgetown University under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) to conduct research on "TARGETING OVARIAN STROMAL CELL SENESCENCE TO MITIGATE IR-INDUCED TRANSGENERATIONAL GASTROINTESTINAL CANCER RISK." The grant, with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026, will support Georgetown's scientific investigation into developing treatments to address the increased risk of...

This $1,029,759 Project Grant award from the Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) supports a research project at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) focused on "Modeling the Circadian Effects of Low Dose Radiation on Immunometabolism and its Effect on Liver Organoid Physiology." The award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025, will facilitate RPI's research to investigate the impact of low-dose radiation exposure on the...

This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 Cancer Biology Research) to SRI International provides $401,125 in funding to quantify the association between genetic factors and radiation sensitivity in cancer patients. The research aims to identify germline genetic variants and gene expression patterns that contribute to individual differences in radiation response. The goal is to develop a predictive screening platform to optimize radiation dosing and mitigate...

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $149,948 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Leland Stanford Junior University to investigate the role of p53 signaling in endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and its impact on radiation-induced coronary heart disease. The 2-year project aims to utilize human-induced pluripotent stem cells and transgenic mouse models to elucidate the functional and molecular alterations in the...
