- This is a $516,874.00 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), which is a non-profit research organization within the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant is for research on the adaptations of desert cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses that allow them to survive extreme environmental conditions near the limits of habitability, with a focus on their tolerance to wet-dry cycles, UV radiation, and oxidation. The research aims to challenge the...
- This federal contract award is a $747,010.37 cooperative agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents. The award is to conduct research characterizing a terrestrial analog environment in the Badwater Basin (Death Valley), California that may be relevant to understanding potential signs of life on Mars. The key objectives are to: 1) identify microorganisms and their energy...
- This is a $344,226 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Desert Research Institute, a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant is for research to understand the history of water on Mars, which is critical to the search for evidence of life on the planet. The research will utilize physics-based wave modeling and geomorphic analysis to constrain the durations over which lakes existed on Mars by comparing to...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0920, was granted by NASA to the Nevada System of Higher Education Research Administration Services and Compliance Division, doing business as the Desert Research Institute (DRI). The $150,000.00 grant supports DRI's Research Coordination Network for Ocean Worlds (NOW) program, which aims to advance comparative studies of Earth and other ocean worlds across their interiors, oceans, and cryospheres, investigate their habitability, search for...
- This federal contract award, valued at $105,354.97, was granted to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and its research entity, the Desert Research Institute (DRI), to support a project titled "NOW 1ST ANNUAL RETREAT: EXPLORING THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF OCEAN WORLDS ACROSS THE SOLAR SYSTEM." The contract is a grant for research, with a completion date of July 12, 2024. DRI, a non-profit research organization, has extensive experience providing scientific and technical...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AF49G, is a $691,838 grant to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to advance nanomotion sensor technology for detecting active life in ocean worlds. The goal is to develop an instrument that can monitor nanoscale motion to identify the presence and metabolic state of unknown life forms in extreme environments, which could be invaluable for future ocean world exploration missions. The National Aeronautics and Space...
- This is a $543,144.75 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the Desert Research Institute (DRI). The grant will fund research to test the hypothesis that extreme radiation resistance in desert microorganisms is functionally related to photochemical oxidation of desiccated cells. The research aims to shed light on the widespread presence of radiation resistant organisms in environments with low natural...
