This federal contract award, valued at $142,304.57, was granted to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. (JCVI), a non-profit genomic research organization, by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, under contract number 80NSSC21K1116. The contract is for research related to future manned space missions that will require novel extravehicular activity (EVA) architectures, including a slightly hypobaric hypoxic cabin atmosphere. JCVI, which also operates as Venter Institute...
This grant award to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. is for a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and virulence in certain bacteria that have been identified in the water system of the International Space Station. The $137,075.84 award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will support genomic sequencing and transposon sequencing studies to assess the potential for increased virulence and antibiotic resistance in Burkholderia...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc., a not-for-profit genomic research institute, for a two-year project focused on examining the lifestyle and impact of viruses on microbial communities in the subseafloor of deep-sea hydrothermal vents. The project will investigate DNA and RNA viruses, including identifying novel RNA viruses, to better understand virus-host interactions and the role...
This is a $75,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to utilize state-of-the-art molecular methods to elucidate the microbial diversity present in spacecraft-associated environments. The project will employ a novel technology called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-Activated Cell Sorting (PACS) to isolate and sequence the genomes of microbes from spacecraft samples, enabling NASA to rapidly detect,...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. (JCVI), a non-profit genomic research organization, for a study on the impact of diet on the human immune system, gut microbiota, and nutritional status during spaceflight. The $232,937 grant will fund an interdisciplinary study to compare the effects of the current spaceflight diet to an "enhanced" diet with more omega-3 fatty acids, lycopene,...
This federal contract award, HSHQDC15CB0059, was issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, Chemical and Biological Defense Division, to the J. Craig Venter Institute, Inc. (JCVI), a non-profit genomic research organization. The contract is for $1,135,654.00 and is for research and development services related to the development and validation of sequence subtraction databases to improve virus discovery through next-generation sequencing....
This is a $1,148,591 grant awarded by NASA to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, to study the effects of altered gravity on microbial biofilm formation. The research aims to develop improved methods for microbiological monitoring and contamination control on long-duration human space missions, which is crucial for crew health and safety. The contract supports testing three model microbial systems - E. coli, a Staphylococcus sp....
This federal contract award is for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project, which will generate microbial censuses of the International Space Station (ISS) using culture-based methods and molecular techniques. The objectives are to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens and correlate their presence with crew health. The $613,747.36 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space...
