About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $299,995.57 research grant to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for the project "Viral Lifestyles Affect Lithification in Microbial Mats," with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2025. The award was made on March 1, 2023, and carries no set-aside designation. The University of North Carolina System Office serves as the parent organization for the awardee. This grant supports fundamental research investigating how viral interactions influence the physical and chemical processes of lithification—the transformation of sediment into rock—within microbial mat ecosystems, representing the type of exoastrobiological and Earth science research priorities that NASA's Shared Services Center typically supports through grants to academic institutions.
Research will be conducted at the prime contractor's facility in Charlotte, North Carolina. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, as a public research institution with demonstrated capacity to manage complex federal awards across multiple agencies, brings substantial expertise in interdisciplinary scientific research. The institution's broader federal portfolio reflects significant strength in life sciences and Earth sciences research, with prior NIH funding for biomedical investigations and NASA support for archaeological and environmental science projects, positioning it well to execute this microbial ecology research initiative.
