The objective of the Idaho EPSCoR "Biocomplexity in Extreme Environments"
project is to look for the occurrence of microbial life forms living in "extreme"
environments (hot springs) and to understand the complex relationship between extremophiles
and the geologic, hydrologic, and geochemical factors that make up their environment.

The Experimental Project to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR)
is a joint program with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and several
U.S. States, such as Idaho, to enhance research, education, and technology
capabilites in science and engineering.
The work described herein is supported by the NSF-Idaho EPSCoR Program, and by
the National Science Foundation under award number EPS-0132626.
