This is a small astrobiology institute located in the town of Foxwarren. It is a part of the NASA Astrobiology Program’s bold new structure to mobilize the astrobiology community towards impacting future NASA space missions and answering the fundamental questions; How does life begin and evolve? Does life exist elsewhere in the Universe? How do we search for life in the Universe?

This new approach includes a virtual collaboration system consisting of “Research Coordination Networks” (RCNs). These RCNs are designed to enable the research community to self-organize, collaborate, communicate, and network across organizational, divisional, and geographical boundaries.
