- This is a $1,148,591 grant awarded by NASA to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, to study the effects of altered gravity on microbial biofilm formation. The research aims to develop improved methods for microbiological monitoring and contamination control on long-duration human space missions, which is crucial for crew health and safety. The contract supports testing three model microbial systems - E. coli, a Staphylococcus sp....
- This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a research grant titled "BACTERIA, ARCHAEA AND FUNGI INHABIT VIRTUALLY EVERY REALM OF OUR PLANET, INCLUDING OUR OWN BODIES." The $375,472.00 grant will fund research to investigate how microbes are adapting to built environments like the International Space Station, with a focus on potential increases in antibiotic resistance and virulence....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $299,996.00 grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research aimed at using transcriptomic analyses to determine the gravity-sensitive molecular pathways important for organogenesis. This research aligns with NASA's Space Biology Plan to investigate the effect of the space environment on life and addresses how microgravity impacts tissue morphogenesis and stem cell differentiation....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $198,354.38 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This university-led project aims to systematically characterize changes in microbial cell growth dynamics, aggregation, drug resistance, and virulence across simulated micro-, lunar (1/6 g), and Martian (1/3 g) gravity environments. The research will utilize spaceflight...
- This $472,284.46 cooperative agreement was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on December 6, 2018. The overarching goal of the project is to understand how evolutionary processes can allow life to emerge and expand to different environments. The research will leverage in vitro evolution techniques, high-throughput sequencing, and computational methods to explore...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) for the International Space Station Microbial Observatory of Pathogenic Virus, Bacteria, and Fungi (ISS-MOP) project. The $194,617.59 grant will fund research to measure the presence of viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens in the International Space Station (ISS) habitat and correlate their presence with crew health. The project aims to catalog viruses and...
- This is a cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the role of RNA molecules in the origin of genetic systems. The $499,153 contract, awarded on July 13, 2016, is part of NASA's Evolutionary Mechanisms of Simple Genomes program and has a period of performance through July 12, 2019. The research aims to address fundamental questions about the early evolution of...
- This $1,514,000.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop nano-optical methods for detecting chemical traces of life, with a focus on phosphorus, on returned space mission samples and meteorites. The award supports the use of nano-infrared imaging techniques to identify specific phosphorus-containing compounds that are critical for the origins of life. The research aims to enable highly precise,...
- 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.
