About this award
The University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs has been awarded a $150,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct a project titled "Quantifying Habitability by Measuring the Bioenergetics of a Hyperthermophilic Methanogen." The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027, and represents a competitive award with no set-aside designation. The research will be conducted at the university's Seattle, Washington campus and focuses on understanding the energy metabolism and habitability characteristics of extreme thermophilic methane-producing microorganisms, with potential applications in astrobiology, environmental science, or biotechnology research.
As a prominent public research institution with extensive federal contracting experience, the University of Washington regularly secures grants and contracts across multiple scientific domains from agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, and defense-focused organizations. This award reflects the university's demonstrated competitive capability to win merit-based research funding and its capacity to execute sophisticated scientific investigations that advance fundamental knowledge in specialized fields such as microbiology and extremophile biology.
