- This $626,561 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) to conduct research on "GENOME-INFORMED HABITABILITY, BIOSIGNATURE POTENTIAL, AND LIMIT OF METHANE PRODUCTION IN PLANETARY ENVIRONMENTS". The grant, which runs from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2026, does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Georgia Tech, a non-profit research organization and state institution...
- This $998,726 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant will fund research to investigate interactions between microbial proteins and methane clathrates, which are ice-like formations that may be widespread in our solar system, including on icy moons and the Martian subsurface. The goal is to better understand the potential...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant is for the project "PLANETARY BRINES: IMPACTS ON HABITABILITY, BIOSIGNATURE STABILITY, AND LIFE DETECTION", with a period of performance through August 31, 2025. The award does not have a set-aside designation....
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for research related to the detection of biosignature gases on exoplanets. The $530,983.51 grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to expand the understanding of potential biosignature gases beyond those found on Earth, including for planets with atmospheres lacking molecular oxygen and low UV radiation. The work will leverage multiple...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, Georgia. The award will contribute to the Exobiology program, specifically to understand the phylogeny and physiology of microorganisms that may reflect the nature of primitive environments. This is a civilian research contract and there is no set-aside designation. Georgia Tech is a non-profit research organization and state...
- This is a $123,704.06 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Institute of Technology Research Corporation (Georgia Tech Research Corp), doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs. The contract aims to acquire data and develop methods to study the abundance and speciation of microorganisms in the mid-to-upper troposphere. It will evaluate portable optical technologies to detect and monitor the abundance of microbial cells in air...
- This is a multiple-year, incrementally funded grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTC). The grant, valued at $5,540,143.87, is in response to the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) and will support a project titled "Reliving the Past: Experimental Evolution of Major Transitions in the History of Life - GIT." The principal investigator is Dr. Raphael F. Rosenzweig from the...
- This is a $1,728,218.88 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to conduct research on "Oceans Across Space and Time." The research aims to address the question of how ocean worlds and their biospheres co-evolve to produce detectable signals of past or present life. The grant will fund a multi-disciplinary team to study Earth's ocean...
- This is a $208,215.74 grant awarded by NASA to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for research related to detecting signs of life on exoplanets. The project aims to develop a tool for analyzing exoplanet atmospheric compositions to identify potential biosignatures and indications of chemical disequilibrium. The research aligns with NASA's goals of understanding Earth and searching for life elsewhere, as outlined in its strategic plan and the Exobiology program. NAU, a public research university...
- This is a $613,094.04 grant awarded by NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) to study the impact of stress on genomic rearrangements in yeast as part of NASA's Exobiology program. The goal is to identify specific large-scale genomic changes that arise under prolonged starvation conditions, determine their frequency, and delineate the genetic pathways leading to these rearrangements. This work aims to advance the understanding of the feedback between genomes and their...
This is a $399,440.55 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to develop new ecophysiological modeling capabilities for understanding the links between microbial metabolism and atmospheric biosignatures on potentially habitable exoplanets. The research aims to provide fundamental new constraints on the types of metabolic networks that can promote the emergence and maintenance of atmospheric biosignatures on primordially reducing (oxygen-poor) planets, building towards NASA's goals of identifying and characterizing potentially habitable exoplanets. This grant work will be integrated into planetary system models like the ATMOS photochemical model and the CGENIE Earth system model to reconstruct Earth's "upside-down biosphere" during the Hadean and early Archean eras. The award does not have a set-aside designation.
