- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $163,350.00 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for research related to the origin, structure, and evolution of a particular material. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is scheduled to be completed by April 26, 2025. UCSD, a public research university, will be the prime contractor on this effort. The State of California Controller's Office, a U.S. state government entity, is the parent...
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD), represented by its Office of Contract & Grant Administration, was awarded a $514,057 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the conditions that could have led to the emergence of an early life form on Earth or other planets. The research will focus on the "RNA world hypothesis," which proposes that organisms using RNA as their genome and catalyst preceded today's DNA/RNA/protein-based life...
- This is a $825,409.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for research on "prebiotically plausible oligomers as ribozyme cofactors." The award does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD is a premier public research university known for its cutting-edge research and commitment to scientific discovery. This grant represents one of many federal contract and grant awards UCSD has received from agencies...
- This is a $70,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant is focused on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields through...
- This is a $549,220 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a research project. The contract is not set aside and has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027. The grant is focused on executing a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. Key elements include participating as a partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, conducting scientific...
- This is a grant awarded by a U.S. government civilian agency to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a research program titled "Exploring the Transformative Potential of High Resolution Spectroscopy in the Search for Habitable Worlds." The $676,027 grant will be used to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. The research aims to advance discovery in emerging fields by...
- This is a $135,000.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to improve understanding of deep ocean basin tectonics. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD, operating through its Office of Contract & Grant Administration, is the prime recipient for this award. The grant funding will support research and development activities aimed at advancing scientific knowledge in this area....
- This is a $579,621.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the emergence of an RNA world. The grant supports two specific aims: 1) studying how prebiotically formed peptides may have influenced the rise and function of catalytic RNA ribozymes, and 2) investigating how nucleoside triphosphates could have been generated from free nucleosides and trimetaphosphate in an early RNA world...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a project titled "Phosphorus in the Cosmos: From Interstellar Molecules to Planetary Building Blocks." The $529,402.98 grant will fund research to expand the understanding of the cosmic history of phosphorus and its role in the formation of life. The research will involve laboratory measurements of gas-phase phosphorus-bearing molecules, identification of these molecules...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
This $1,514,000.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop nano-optical methods for detecting chemical traces of life, with a focus on phosphorus, on returned space mission samples and meteorites. The award supports the use of nano-infrared imaging techniques to identify specific phosphorus-containing compounds that are critical for the origins of life. The research aims to enable highly precise, non-destructive analysis of samples that could reveal insights into the early evolution of oxygen and its relationship to the development of life. This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract. UCSD has extensive experience collaborating on federally funded research projects, including prior work with NASA on topics related to astrobiology and space exploration.
