- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for $119,330.00 was granted to Montana State University (MSU) to investigate the relationship between hydrogen (H2) metabolism and carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation in geothermal spring ecosystems in Yellowstone National Park. The research aims to identify the microbial populations and metabolic pathways involved in these processes, and to understand how they support the establishment of more complex...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to investigate the production of hydrogen (H2) in subglacial basaltic systems and its role in sustaining chemolithotrophic communities. The specific objectives of the research project are to characterize the chemistry of meltwaters in glacial catchments, determine rates of biological H2 transformation and CO2 fixation, quantify enrichment in H2-based metabolism...
- This is a $100,158 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) under the Exobiology program. The grant is to support the research of an MSU assistant professor on developing novel bioorthogonal labeling tools to study extremophilic microbes in geothermal hot springs. The research aims to provide a better understanding of the biotic and geochemical factors that drive microbial activity, which is relevant to NASA's Exobiology...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AJ62G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to conduct research on laminated microbial mats. The $502,339.00 grant will focus on comparing the taxonomic composition and metabolic functioning of two types of microbial mats - one formed by anoxygenic photosynthetic microorganisms and another formed by oxygenic cyanobacteria - in Yellowstone hot springs. The research will utilize metagenomic,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $84,499.69, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to investigate Mars analog hydrothermal systems in Iceland. The research aims to study the aqueous chemistries, microbial communities, and associated mineralogies of high temperature hydrothermal field sites in Iceland, in order to inform future Mars sample return biosignature...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $552,970.00 grant for research to Montana State University (MSU) to study the microbial diversity in geothermal features. This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2024. As a premier research institution and land-grant university, MSU has a history of securing prime federal contracts and grants from agencies such as the Department of the Air Force, Department of...
- Montana State University received a $3.28 million research grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) effective October 1, 2020, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026. The research focuses on utilizing Earth-based ice systems, particularly the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic, as analogs for studying the subsurface ocean environments of Europa and other icy moons. The project aims to characterize hypersaline subglacial lakes and outflows beneath...
- This is a $99,499.75 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to establish a stable isotope probing (SIP) facility at the university. The grant will enable MSU to expand its astrobiology research capabilities by acquiring instrumentation to perform SIP analysis of RNA and DNA. This technology will allow MSU researchers to link microbial metabolism and function, providing insights into energy flow and ecosystem development...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant to Montana State University to conduct research on microbial metabolism in Antarctic subglacial environments. The research aims to provide insights into the potential for life to adapt to different planetary environments, including subsurface and subglacial bodies of liquid water that have been identified on moons of Jupiter and Saturn. The study will focus on directly sampling and analyzing the water...
- This is a $1,134,714.00 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the non-profit Blue Marble Space Institute of Science. The award supports research to characterize the habitability of low-temperature aqueous systems subject to water/rock reactions, with a focus on methanogenic metabolism. The research seeks to develop a thermodynamic-kinetic-bioenergetic model to understand how changing physicochemical properties of water and rock affect habitability, which will inform...
