- This is a $516,874.00 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), which is a non-profit research organization within the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant is for research on the adaptations of desert cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses that allow them to survive extreme environmental conditions near the limits of habitability, with a focus on their tolerance to wet-dry cycles, UV radiation, and oxidation. The research aims to challenge the...
- This federal award is a $207,308 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project to analyze and interpret sedimentary and hydrated deposits in the Ladon Basin region of Mars, with implications for the aqueous history of the Margaritifer Terra region. The project will utilize multiple datasets and analyses, including HiRISE and CTX imagery, CRISM...
- This federal contract award is a $747,010.37 cooperative agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents. The award is to conduct research characterizing a terrestrial analog environment in the Badwater Basin (Death Valley), California that may be relevant to understanding potential signs of life on Mars. The key objectives are to: 1) identify microorganisms and their energy...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The $224,725.54 grant funds a research project to study the aqueous stratigraphy and alteration history of the Noachis Terra region on Mars. The research aims to characterize the composition, thermophysical properties, and geomorphology of aqueous materials and adjacent terrain in this area,...
- This is a $299,294.67 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a research project focused on mapping and modeling Martian alluvial fans to better understand past climate conditions and potential habitable environments on the planet. The work will involve analyzing high-resolution imagery, topographic data, and spectral information to differentiate sediment flow deposits and...
- This is a $1,029,004 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), a research division of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant is part of NASA's "Operational Remote Sensing of Agricultural Water Use in Cooperation with Western State Water Resources" program and will support the development of an open-source platform called "Open-ET" to provide water management agencies and stakeholders with...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research valued at $107,398.77, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The one-year pilot study will expand a preliminary experiment on the effects of calcium brine on halophilic microorganisms found in extreme environments like the Antarctic dry valleys, Hot Lake in Washington, and the Dead Sea. The goal is to test the predicted...
- This is a $99,707.91 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents to conduct research and development related to in-situ resource utilization for extended human exploration of Mars. The research aims to investigate the potential of using materials found on Mars, such as hydrogen, perchlorate, magnesium, and iron, as sources of fuel and raw materials for manufacturing. The work will...
- This is a $543,144.75 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the Desert Research Institute (DRI). The grant will fund research to test the hypothesis that extreme radiation resistance in desert microorganisms is functionally related to photochemical oxidation of desiccated cells. The research aims to shed light on the widespread presence of radiation resistant organisms in environments with low natural...
