- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $310,339.35 federal grant (Contract ID: 80NSSC18K1465) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the impact of microgravity on bacteria-induced apoptosis in animal tissues. The research aims to elucidate the signaling pathways associated with bacteria-induced cell death and how they are altered under simulated microgravity conditions. This work is expected to provide insights into the...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $420,800.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the capacity of microbes to survive in extreme environments, such as the Earth's stratosphere. The grant supports UF's work to study viable bacteria isolated from the stratosphere, where conditions include hypobaric pressure, low temperature, and ultraviolet radiation. This research aligns with NASA's mission to advance our...

The award is part of NASA's scientific research programs and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Florida is a major research institution with extensive federal research and development capabilities, particularly in areas like advanced materials, defense technologies,...
- The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $749,576 grant on March 1, 2021, to conduct research assessing the impact of agr quorum sensing on Staphylococcus aureus physiology in the space flight environment. The work will be performed in Gainesville, Florida, with an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2026. This research grant, issued without set-aside designation, represents a civilian federal investment in understanding bacterial communication mechanisms and...
- This is a $299,555 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on the response of the oral bacteria Streptococcus mutans to simulated microgravity conditions. The research aims to characterize physiological and genetic changes in S. mutans, particularly related to biofilm development, stress resistance, and identifying key genes that favor its survival in microgravity. The work is...
- This is a $704,483.80 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on characterizing the limits of life under Martian conditions. The research aims to identify culturable and non-culturable spacecraft-associated microorganisms that can grow under low-pressure, low-temperature, and high-salt conditions similar to the Martian environment. This information will help model the risks of...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Florida to study how microbes adapt to extreme pressure environments. The $421,020.49 grant will fund research using strains of the genus Carnobacterium, which can tolerate a wide range of pressures from the upper atmosphere to the deep ocean. The researchers will investigate how changes in pressure affect the microbes' gene expression and DNA methylation....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $248,439.77 grant to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on the impact of simulated microgravity conditions on the growth and virulence potential of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The research aims to contribute to a better understanding of how spaceflight environmental conditions affect S. aureus-human interactions, which will inform the development of countermeasures to protect...
