About this award

This is a $349,614 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization in Mountain View, California. The award supports a focused, pilot program to expand the exploration of chiral signatures in the ultraviolet spectrum for photosynthetic organisms, building on the Institute's prior work in the visible spectrum.

The SETI Institute has a history of federal contract and grant awards, primarily from NASA and the National Science Foundation, supporting a range of scientific research including astrobiology, planetary science, astronomy, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This award does not utilize any set-aside designations, indicating the SETI Institute was selected based on its technical expertise and capabilities. The award is part of the Institute's broader work under a $4.7 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA Headquarters, focused on providing multidisciplinary technical support services to ensure compliance with planetary protection protocols during space exploration activities.

Description

We propose to expand our exploration of the rich diversity of chiral signatures, which we have already begun in the visible for photosynthetic organisms, into the UV. This focused, pilot program will identify and characterize chiral spectral
