About this award

The University of Cincinnati, through its Sponsored Research Services Division, was awarded a $528,531 research grant by a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) on January 15, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of January 14, 2025. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, supports scientific research on microbial life in serpentinized systems—specifically addressing gaps in quantitative understanding of microbial communities in marine environments compared to their terrestrial counterparts (such as The Cedars and Tablelands in Oman). The research is based at the university's Cincinnati, Ohio facility and aims to advance knowledge of fluid chemistry and microbial activity in these specialized geological systems.

This grant award leverages the University of Cincinnati's extensive federal research capabilities across multiple scientific domains. The institution maintains a strong track record of executing complex, federally-funded research initiatives, including a significant $146.3 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for pre-clinical infectious disease models. The current research grant reflects the university's expertise in environmental microbiology and its capacity to contribute to fundamental scientific understanding through collaborative federal funding partnerships.

Description

Despite recent advances in understanding the nature of microbial life in terrestrial serpentinized systems (i.e., the cedars, tablelands, oman), differences in the underlying fluid chemistry between these freshwater environments and their marine COU
