About this award
The University of Illinois received a $760,769 cost-no-fee definitive contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (via the Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity) to conduct research under the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) Project ER22-3157. The project, titled "Hydrothermal Destruction of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances During Designer Biochar Reactivation," represents applied research to address the environmental contamination and remediation challenges associated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—persistent contaminants of significant concern to federal environmental restoration efforts. Work will be performed at the University of Illinois's Urbana, Illinois campus, with completion anticipated by February 15, 2027.
This award emerged from SERDP's November 2020 pre-solicitation opportunity, which sought environmental research proposals across restoration, munitions response, and resource conservation with approximately $10 million in total funding available. The contract carries no set-aside designation and reflects SERDP's mission to fund high-merit research addressing pressing environmental challenges facing the Department of Defense and broader federal interests. As a major research institution with extensive federal contracting experience, the University of Illinois is well-positioned to develop innovative remediation technologies that could advance the state of practice in managing PFAS-contaminated sites.
