This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center supports research contributing to the NASA Science Mission Directorate's Science program (CFDA 43.001).

Specifically, the grant funds a project conducted by Georgia Tech Research Corporation from January 2021 to January 2022. The project aims to understand the phylogeny and physiology of microorganisms with characteristics reflecting primitive environments, advancing NASA's exobiology research goals. As the official place of performance, Atlanta, Georgia is where the grantee will carry out activities to analyze samples and report findings back to the funding agency.

In summary, this federal assistance provides $100,000 in funding for Georgia Tech Research Corporation to conduct scientific research that furthers NASA's exobiology objectives under the agency's Science program over a one-year period.

This project will contribute to at least one important area of the exobiology program: (II) to understand the phylogeny and physiology of microorganisms whose characteristics may reflect the nature of primitive environments.
