About this award
Michigan State University received a $100,000 grant award from the Shared Services Center (SSC) on February 8, 2024, for research titled "The Sources and Extent of Root Stunting During Growth in Lunar Highland Regolith and Its Impact on Legume Symbioses." The award is scheduled for completion by August 7, 2026, with performance taking place at MSU's campus in East Lansing, Michigan. This research grant supports fundamental scientific inquiry into plant growth challenges in lunar regolith materials, specifically examining how root stunting affects the symbiotic relationships between legumes and their nitrogen-fixing microbial partners. This work has direct applications to NASA's long-term objectives for establishing sustainable food production systems during lunar habitat development and exploration missions.
No set-aside designation was applied to this award, allowing it to be awarded through open competitive procurement. The grant represents the Shared Services Center's investment in agricultural and space science research conducted by one of the nation's premier land-grant institutions. MSU's extensive track record of federal research funding, including substantial support from the National Science Foundation, Department of Agriculture, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Energy, demonstrates the university's capacity to execute complex, multidisciplinary research programs. This specific project contributes to broader national priorities in space exploration infrastructure and agricultural innovation.
