This is a $704,483.80 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on characterizing the limits of life under Martian conditions. The research aims to identify culturable and non-culturable spacecraft-associated microorganisms that can grow under low-pressure, low-temperature, and high-salt conditions similar to the Martian environment. This information will help model the risks of...
This is a $29,439.93 grant awarded by NASA to Amentum Services, Inc. to study the microbiomes of leafy green vegetable crops grown during spaceflight on the International Space Station. The research aims to expand knowledge of how microbial organisms and communities associated with the Veggie plant growth system acclimate to and change over time in the spaceflight environment. This includes analyzing interactions between the plant microbiomes and the broader spacecraft environment, including...
This federal contract award is a grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. The contract has a ceiling value of $599,967.00 and a completion date of December 31, 2025. The purpose of the research is to develop the knowledge and technology infrastructures to advance the development of food production systems on other planetary bodies, utilizing small plant-growth payloads in microgravity....
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research for research on how microbial cells respond to the human spaceflight environment. The $159,395.08 grant will fund a project to analyze transcriptomic data from the NASA GeneLab database to identify common molecular mechanisms used by bacteria to cope with the stresses of spaceflight, such as microgravity and ionizing radiation. The goal is to...
This is a $544,944.69 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. The grant supports the development of a downscaling-assimilation framework to obtain high-resolution crop yields from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite observations in heterogeneous agricultural regions. The goal is to enable accurate predictions of crop yield and root zone soil moisture, which are critical for...
The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $420,800.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the capacity of microbes to survive in extreme environments, such as the Earth's stratosphere. The grant supports UF's work to study viable bacteria isolated from the stratosphere, where conditions include hypobaric pressure, low temperature, and ultraviolet radiation. This research aligns with NASA's mission to advance our...
The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $749,056.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the "Alteration of Bacillus subtilis DNA Architecture in Space: Global Effects on DNA Supercoiling, Methylation, and the Transcriptome." This grant, awarded on December 3, 2020, is a research contract without a set-aside designation, reflecting UF's extensive research capabilities across various...
This is a $299,555 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on the response of the oral bacteria Streptococcus mutans to simulated microgravity conditions. The research aims to characterize physiological and genetic changes in S. mutans, particularly related to biofilm development, stress resistance, and identifying key genes that favor its survival in microgravity. The work is...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research. The $295,471.13 grant is for research to investigate whether plants generate calcium ion (Ca2+) signals during changes in gravity levels, which could be triggered by the plant's gravity sensing machinery or stress response systems. The grant does not have any set-aside designations. As a public land-grant research university,...
This is a $684,806.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Ohio University. The grant is focused on understanding how plants respond to the spaceflight environment, with the goal of enabling plants to thrive in potentially hostile environments during long-distance space missions and colonization efforts. The research will combine expertise and resources from two principal investigators to generate multi-omics datasets and provide a comprehensive...
