About this award
Georgia TECH Research Corp (Office of Sponsored Programs) was awarded a $362,626 grant for research on microbial functional and evolutionary adaptations to aridity (solicitation 18-EXO18-0086) by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The research builds upon prior systematic sampling conducted along variable aridity transects in the Atacama Desert, leveraging extensive characterization of soil parameters, 16S ribosomal community analysis, and cultivation work previously conducted by the research team. The award is a non-competitive grant for research with an ultimate completion date of January 13, 2025, and was issued on January 14, 2022.
The work will be performed at Georgia Tech's campus in Atlanta, Georgia. This research initiative falls within the broader scientific domain of astrobiology and extreme environment microbiology, examining how microbial communities adapt to severe arid conditions—research with potential applications to understanding habitability in extraterrestrial environments. Georgia TECH Research Corp, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, has a demonstrated track record of successfully executing federally funded research across multiple scientific disciplines, including materials science, biomedical engineering, and fundamental biological research, positioning it well to advance this specialized microbial ecology research effort.
Description
We propose to build on prior systematic sampling along variable aridity transects in the.atacama, including extensive prior characterization of soil parameters, ribosomal (16S) community.characterization, and cultivation work.
