The $150,000.00 grant supports DRI's Research Coordination Network for Ocean Worlds (NOW) program, which aims to advance comparative studies of Earth and other ocean worlds across their interiors, oceans, and cryospheres, investigate their habitability, search for...
- This federal contract award, valued at $105,354.97, was granted to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and its research entity, the Desert Research Institute (DRI), to support a project titled "NOW 1ST ANNUAL RETREAT: EXPLORING THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF OCEAN WORLDS ACROSS THE SOLAR SYSTEM." The contract is a grant for research, with a completion date of July 12, 2024. DRI, a non-profit research organization, has extensive experience providing scientific and technical...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AF49G, is a $691,838 grant to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to advance nanomotion sensor technology for detecting active life in ocean worlds. The goal is to develop an instrument that can monitor nanoscale motion to identify the presence and metabolic state of unknown life forms in extreme environments, which could be invaluable for future ocean world exploration missions. The National Aeronautics and Space...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,287.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) for data processing and analysis support of the OPENET model evaluations for the Western Water Application Office. The award is not set aside and represents a grant for research work. The Desert Research Institute (DRI), a non-profit research organization within NSHE, will be performing the work. DRI has extensive experience...
- This federal contract award was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) and its research arm, the Desert Research Institute (DRI). The $99,997.49 grant, which has an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2024, is for a research project titled "Building Access and Capacity with Indigenous Communities to Utilize Environmental Data and Traditional Knowledge in Support of Wildfire and Fuels Stewardship." The contract is not...
This is a $543,144.75 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the Desert Research Institute (DRI). The grant will fund research to test the hypothesis that extreme radiation resistance in desert microorganisms is functionally related to photochemical oxidation of desiccated cells. The research aims to shed light on the widespread presence of radiation resistant organisms in environments with low natural background radiation. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. DRI is a leading environmental research organization that provides specialized scientific and technical services to federal agencies through contracts and grants, often collaborating with university partners. The State of Nevada, through the Office of the Governor, is the parent organization of DRI and has received significant federal grant funding for initiatives such as broadband expansion and pandemic response.
