- This is a $360,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan State University (MSU) to research the evolution of microbial metabolic networks. The research aims to understand how different metabolisms may arise and what environmental conditions select for various types of metabolic networks, particularly in the context of early microbial evolution on Earth and potentially other habitable planets. The research will combine two novel modeling...
- This is a $852,867 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the geochemical and biomolecular changes associated with the evolution of photosynthesis. The research aims to understand how geochemical changes may have enabled the historical rise of photosynthesis by examining transitions to photosynthesis in active hot spring ecosystems. The project will combine field research, laboratory analysis, and...
- This is a $2,508,591.16 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the long-term, multigenerational effects of microgravity on microbial populations. The research aims to characterize genomic, epigenetic, and transcriptomic changes in the model pathogen Salmonella Typhimurium in response to chronic stress and selective pressures in the spaceflight environment. This grant addresses two key research emphases from NASA's...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $351,186.25 grant to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for a research project related to the evolutionary ecology of symbiosis between multicellular organisms and bacteria. The objectives are to examine how bacteria evolved under different environmental conditions affect their ability to infect native hosts, measure host immune response to native and non-native bacteria, and determine how abiotic factors impact the fitness of...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU), doing business as Orspa, for a research project titled "Tracking Extremophile Metabolisms: Lipid Synthesis in Response to Dynamic Environments." The grant is for a five-year period ending in December 2027. ASU, a comprehensive public research university, has a history of receiving federal awards from agencies such as NASA, the U.S. Air Force, the National...
- This is a $488,088 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to identify the characteristics and distribution of potentially habitable environments around low mass stars. The grant aims to quantify and explore the effects of high energy radiation on habitable zone terrestrial planets by building a statistically significant grid of updated models for the ultraviolet spectral range, which impacts the formation, chemistry,...
- This is a $1,953,008 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the early history of the solar system. The objective is to better understand processes in the solar nebula and on planetesimals through investigations of radiogenic isotope systematics, stable isotope systematics, and trace element geochemistry of primitive and differentiated meteorites. The research addresses NASA's Emerging Worlds program goals...
- This $431,418 grant awarded by NASA to Montana State University is focused on studying the biology and ecology of multicellular magnetotactic bacteria (MMB), which represent a unique model for understanding the early evolution of complex multicellular life. The project aims to: (i) determine the ecophysiology and metabolic requirements of MMB; (ii) assess whether MMB consortia exhibit cellular cooperation or division of labor; and (iii) develop hypotheses on the genetic and evolutionary...
- This is a $114,846.10 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the role of oxidative weathering in the Great Oxidation Event, a key event in the oxygenation of Earth's atmosphere. The grant supports experiments to measure the kinetics of oxygen consumption by various rock types at low oxygen levels relevant to the Archean eon, prior to the oxygenation of the atmosphere. The goal is to...
- This is a $399,440.55 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to develop new ecophysiological modeling capabilities for understanding the links between microbial metabolism and atmospheric biosignatures on potentially habitable exoplanets. The research aims to provide fundamental new constraints on the types of metabolic networks that...
