- 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....
- This is a $858,990.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) for research on the biological sulfur metabolism of methanogens, ancient microorganisms that emerged on the anaerobic Earth over 2 billion years ago. The grant, titled "DESCRIPTION OF KEY CENTRAL OBJECTIVES SULFUR ASSIMILATION AND TRAFFICKING IN METHANOGENS EXHIBIT UNIQUE FEATURES AS COMPARED WITH ALL OTHER EXTANT ORGANISMS, REFLECTING THE EMERGENCE OF THESE...
- This $998,726 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education. The grant will fund research to investigate interactions between microbial proteins and methane clathrates, which are ice-like formations that may be widespread in our solar system, including on icy moons and the Martian subsurface. The goal is to better understand the potential...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $577,434.00 federal grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on potential habitable zones on Mars. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research will focus on identifying areas on Mars where liquid water may be periodically stable, such as melting frosts or inclusions within subsurface ices, which could indicate the presence of habitable zones. As a major...
- This is a $86,480.67 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. The grant supports UF's doctoral research project to characterize the microbiomes of stromatolite-forming microbial communities from environmentally diverse sites in Shark Bay, Western Australia. Stromatolites are ancient, laminated sedimentary structures formed by microbial communities, and understanding their ecology could...
- 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...
- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The grant, valued at $104,928.26, supports research in the hyperarid and perchlorate-rich regions of the Atacama Desert in Chile, which serve as a terrestrial analog for Mars. The research aims to study the presence of indigenous microbial communities that are periodically active during...
- This is a $100,158 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) under the Exobiology program. The grant is to support the research of an MSU assistant professor on developing novel bioorthogonal labeling tools to study extremophilic microbes in geothermal hot springs. The research aims to provide a better understanding of the biotic and geochemical factors that drive microbial activity, which is relevant to NASA's Exobiology...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research for research on how microbial cells respond to the human spaceflight environment. The $159,395.08 grant will fund a project to analyze transcriptomic data from the NASA GeneLab database to identify common molecular mechanisms used by bacteria to cope with the stresses of spaceflight, such as microgravity and ionizing radiation. The goal is to...
