- This is a multiple-year, incrementally funded grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTC). The grant, valued at $5,540,143.87, is in response to the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) and will support a project titled "Reliving the Past: Experimental Evolution of Major Transitions in the History of Life - GIT." The principal investigator is Dr. Raphael F. Rosenzweig from the...
- 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 $613,094.04 grant awarded by NASA to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (Georgia Tech) to study the impact of stress on genomic rearrangements in yeast as part of NASA's Exobiology program. The goal is to identify specific large-scale genomic changes that arise under prolonged starvation conditions, determine their frequency, and delineate the genetic pathways leading to these rearrangements. This work aims to advance the understanding of the feedback between genomes and their...
- This is a $336,967.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) to conduct research related to the Ediacaran biota - the first macroscopic, multicellular organisms that evolved on Earth. The research aims to gain new information about the marine environmental conditions and organic food sources that sustained the Ediacaran fauna. The project will involve detailed geochemical analyses of samples...
- This is a $1,145,196.39 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on the evolutionary origins of complex animal body plans. The research aims to experimentally reconstruct the mechanism by which a shift in the site of activation of molecular signaling pathways from the animal to the vegetal pole of the embryo led to the dramatic radiation of bilaterally symmetric animals, known as...
- This is a $663,210.33 grant award to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, to conduct research into the origins and evolution of the ribosome. The work aims to retrace the earliest stages of ribosome formation and investigate the accretion model for how the ribosome, the central catalytic molecule of the protein translation system, may have emerged on the early Earth. This grant is part of the NASA Astrobiology...
- 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...
- 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 $4,362,086.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota for a research project focused on understanding the evolutionary origins and driving forces behind the emergence of the genetic code and macromolecular complexity in early life. The project will integrate laboratory experiments and theoretical modeling to investigate how simpler molecular parts and intermediate forms could have conferred evolutionary...
- This is a $1,728,218.88 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to conduct research on "Oceans Across Space and Time." The research aims to address the question of how ocean worlds and their biospheres co-evolve to produce detectable signals of past or present life. The grant will fund a multi-disciplinary team to study Earth's ocean...
