1 recipient will receive $1,490,000. This is a first-time earmark.

Year Enacted: 2005

Description: The National Center for Gender Physiology (NCGP) has been developed at the University of Missouri in Columbia to focus on gender/sex differences in four major research areas: 1) cardiovascular sciences; 2) endocrinology and metabolism; 3) musculoskeletal sciences; and 4) Neuroscience. The primary mission for the Center is to serve as a catalyst for the development of multidisciplinary, integrated collaborations in basic and clinical research in the area of gender-based biology and medicine. The studies that are supported by the NCGP have intrinsic scientific merit not only for space flight applications, but also to facilitate understanding of fundamental human physiology to contribute to the health of the general population.
