- This is a $133,237 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) on September 1, 2020. The grant is for research on the evolution of multicellularity, which is a fundamental question in the origin and evolution of life. The grant has a period of performance through December 31, 2023. MSU is a top-tier research university and the largest in Montana, with a strong track record of delivering high-quality research, technical...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $351,186.25 grant to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for a research project related to the evolutionary ecology of symbiosis between multicellular organisms and bacteria. The objectives are to examine how bacteria evolved under different environmental conditions affect their ability to infect native hosts, measure host immune response to native and non-native bacteria, and determine how abiotic factors impact the fitness of...
- 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 $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman, Montana. The grant is for a research project titled "The Effects of Space-like Environmental Exposure on Enceladus Plume Analog Organisms and Implications for Life Detection Strategies". The grant does not have a set-aside designation and will be completed by August 31, 2026. MSU, a U.S. state government and educational institution, has a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $552,970.00 grant for research to Montana State University (MSU) to study the microbial diversity in geothermal features. This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2024. As a premier research institution and land-grant university, MSU has a history of securing prime federal contracts and grants from agencies such as the Department of the Air Force, Department of...
- This is a $631,836 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the evolution of metabolic communities, particularly in extreme environments. The project aims to (1) build computational models to investigate network evolution of metabolic communities, (2) identify the network architecture and patterns of diversity for metagenomes, and (3) utilize computational models to test hypotheses about the structure and evolution of...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for $119,330.00 was granted to Montana State University (MSU) to investigate the relationship between hydrogen (H2) metabolism and carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation in geothermal spring ecosystems in Yellowstone National Park. The research aims to identify the microbial populations and metabolic pathways involved in these processes, and to understand how they support the establishment of more complex...
- Montana State University received a $3.28 million research grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) effective October 1, 2020, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026. The research focuses on utilizing Earth-based ice systems, particularly the Devon Ice Cap in the Canadian Arctic, as analogs for studying the subsurface ocean environments of Europa and other icy moons. The project aims to characterize hypersaline subglacial lakes and outflows beneath...
- This is a $99,499.75 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to establish a stable isotope probing (SIP) facility at the university. The grant will enable MSU to expand its astrobiology research capabilities by acquiring instrumentation to perform SIP analysis of RNA and DNA. This technology will allow MSU researchers to link microbial metabolism and function, providing insights into energy flow and ecosystem development...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to investigate the production of hydrogen (H2) in subglacial basaltic systems and its role in sustaining chemolithotrophic communities. The specific objectives of the research project are to characterize the chemistry of meltwaters in glacial catchments, determine rates of biological H2 transformation and CO2 fixation, quantify enrichment in H2-based metabolism...
