- 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 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...
- 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...
- 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 federal contract award to Montana State University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for a $135,000 grant to support research related to the detection of potential biosignatures on moons of Jupiter and Saturn, such as Europa and Enceladus. The research aims to examine fresh samples from these moons for evidence of life. This contract is not set aside for a specific socioeconomic category of business. Montana State University, a premier research institution and...
- This is a $488,250.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Montana State University to conduct research on the use of hyperspectral imaging to identify potential signs of life in Martian ice. The research builds on the hypothesis that cryoconite holes, small ecosystems found in glacial ablation zones on Earth, could serve as analogs for potential microbial habitats on Mars. The study aims to characterize the physical, biological, and...
- 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...
- 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 federal contract award, with ID NNX16AJ62G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to conduct research on laminated microbial mats. The $502,339.00 grant will focus on comparing the taxonomic composition and metabolic functioning of two types of microbial mats - one formed by anoxygenic photosynthetic microorganisms and another formed by oxygenic cyanobacteria - in Yellowstone hot springs. The research will utilize metagenomic,...
- This federal contract award, with identification number 80NSSC19K0465, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a world-class private research university. The $471,465.94 grant funds research to characterize the molecular and isotopic biosignatures of microbial ecosystems in the dirty ice environments of the McMurdo Ice Shelf in Antarctica. The primary objectives are to identify biosignatures that could inform...
