About this award

This is a $112,585.00 cooperative agreement awarded by the Shared Services Center of NASA to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech), a public research university, to conduct research on the role of water availability in the formation of humic material and associated biosignatures in arid environments. The research aims to understand differences between kosmotropic and chaotropic deposits. This contract is not set aside for small businesses. Virginia Tech has a history of supporting federal agencies through research and development contracts and grants, including work for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The university also holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Franchise Acquisition Services agency for providing technical support and training services related to unmanned aerial systems.

Description

Our science goal is to understand how the role of water availability drives the initial formation of humic material and the biosignatures included in its lipids and imom in a constrained arid environment in soils and salts. We are particularly interested in understanding differences between kosmotropic versus chaotropic deposits.
