- This is a $579,621.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on the emergence of an RNA world. The grant supports two specific aims: 1) studying how prebiotically formed peptides may have influenced the rise and function of catalytic RNA ribozymes, and 2) investigating how nucleoside triphosphates could have been generated from free nucleosides and trimetaphosphate in an early RNA world...
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD), represented by its Office of Contract & Grant Administration, was awarded a $514,057 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the conditions that could have led to the emergence of an early life form on Earth or other planets. The research will focus on the "RNA world hypothesis," which proposes that organisms using RNA as their genome and catalyst preceded today's DNA/RNA/protein-based life...
- This is a $924,030.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, a non-profit research institution located in La Jolla, California. The grant is part of NASA's effort to understand the origin of life on Earth, which will guide the search for life elsewhere in the universe. The research aims to construct RNA-based life in the laboratory, represented by populations of RNA enzymes that can catalyze their own replication...
- This is a $825,409.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for research on "prebiotically plausible oligomers as ribozyme cofactors." The award does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD is a premier public research university known for its cutting-edge research and commitment to scientific discovery. This grant represents one of many federal contract and grant awards UCSD has received from agencies...
- 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 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Foundation For Applied Molecular Evolution, Inc., a non-profit research organization, to support work related to understanding the origins of life. The $585,961 grant supports experimental research on the "RNA First" model for the prebiotic formation of RNA, building on the "Discontinuous Synthesis Model" (DSM) and exploring challenges that must be resolved for the DSM to be...
- This is a $4,988,047.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Missouri System to conduct research on the potential for RNA to sustain cellular metabolism and serve as a bridge between bottom-up and top-down approaches to RNA world research. The research aims to address a critical missing piece in RNA world theories by exploring the emergence of robust, catalytic ribozymes as precursors to contemporary metabolic pathways. The project brings...
- 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...
- The Broad Institute, Inc., a non-profit biomedical and genomic research organization, has been awarded a $593,760.53 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research related to the origin and evolution of the ribosome, a critical cellular component essential for life. The grant aims to use synthetic biology, computational analysis, and evolutionary principles to identify and experimentally validate minimized ribosome intermediates that could have existed in...
- This is a $90,000.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to study riparian woodlands, which are highly productive plant communities in dryland ecosystems. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023. UCSB is a public research university with expertise in areas such as quantum computing, photonics, and climate research. The university frequently partners with other leading...
