About this award
Stony Brook University, through The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, was awarded a $1.13M grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on October 10, 2023, to conduct research titled "Habitability Estimates for Heterotrophic Metabolisms in Wet-to-Dry Transient Environments on Noachian Mars" (HABMARS). The award, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by October 9, 2026, and will be performed at Stony Brook's primary campus in Stony Brook, New York. This research initiative focuses on astrobiology and planetary science, examining the potential for microbial life forms to survive in Mars' ancient wet-to-dry transitional environments during the Noachian period, a line of inquiry relevant to NASA's broader Mars exploration and habitability assessment objectives.
The award reflects Stony Brook University's established capacity to execute multidisciplinary federal research initiatives. As a major public research institution, Stony Brook has demonstrated extensive expertise in securing federal research funding across diverse scientific domains, including recent work spanning structural characterization, advanced materials science, renewable energy systems, and environmental research. The institution's involvement in astrobiology and planetary science research, supported through this grant, complements its broader portfolio of NSF, DOE, and other federal agency-funded research initiatives and positions it as a qualified partner for investigating fundamental questions regarding the potential for life on other planets.
