- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $49,961.71 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct a terrestrial field experiment in a U.S. dune field. The study aims to measure environmental conditions and biological activity within dunes to improve scientific understanding of how in-situ measurements at analog sites can inform the potential for life-supporting environments on other planetary bodies, such as Mars or Titan. The grant does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $206,920 research grant awarded by NASA to The Johns Hopkins University for the "Atacama Rover Astrobiology Drilling Studies" (ARADS) project. The grant aims to develop and field test an integrated rover-drill system and associated instruments for future planetary exploration missions, with a focus on enabling mobile subsurface surveys to search for volatile organics and potential signs of life on Mars. The research will address key technical challenges around autonomous,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $667,396 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to determine the limits of life and stress response mechanisms of extremophilic microorganisms under dynamic conditions relevant to major impact events. No set-aside designation was specified. This research aligns with NASA's goals of advancing scientific knowledge of the origins of life and potential habitability of other worlds. Through analyzing how extremophiles respond to...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $24,812 grant to The Johns Hopkins University for "Planetary Science Research Community Activities to Advance Astrobiology in Support of Research Coordination Network for Ocean Worlds NOW". This grant, with a performance period ending on December 1, 2024, will support the university's research and coordination efforts for the astrobiology community. The grant is not set-aside for any specific business...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $338,420 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to evaluate motility as a potential composition-independent biosignature for detecting microbial life beyond Earth. The proposed work aims to use time-lapse light microscopy, image analysis algorithms, and a validation framework to characterize biotic movement and distinguish it from non-biological motion like Brownian motion or wind. This grant is the result of a collaboration...
- This is a $4,010,470.00 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by a U.S. government civilian agency for a research project titled "STRANGE NEW WORLDS: CHARACTERIZING NEARBY M-DWARF HABITABLE ZONE PLANETS." The research is organized into four core tasks: (1) Planetary Processes, (2) Planetary Atmospheres, (3) Star-Planet Interactions, and (4) Exoplanet Observations. The goal is to develop models and frameworks to address scientific questions related to the search for life on...
- This is a $599,481.00 grant awarded by a civilian government agency to The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research university, for a project involving surveys of Noachian terrain on Mars to study the prevalence and variety of alteration phases formed through weathering, elevated pressure/temperature, burial diagenesis, and hydrothermal alteration. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. As a leading federal contractor and grantee, The Johns...
- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The grant, valued at $104,928.26, supports research in the hyperarid and perchlorate-rich regions of the Atacama Desert in Chile, which serve as a terrestrial analog for Mars. The research aims to study the presence of indigenous microbial communities that are periodically active during...
