About this award
The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $420,800.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the capacity of microbes to survive in extreme environments, such as the Earth's stratosphere. The grant supports UF's work to study viable bacteria isolated from the stratosphere, where conditions include hypobaric pressure, low temperature, and ultraviolet radiation. This research aligns with NASA's mission to advance our understanding of life in extreme environments and could have implications for space exploration. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UF's established capabilities in conducting cutting-edge research across scientific disciplines. As a major research institution and top-tier public land-grant university, UF has a robust portfolio of federally funded projects and collaborates with other universities on various research initiatives.
