About this award

The University of Rhode Island has been awarded a $249,964 firm fixed-price purchase order under the Department of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) to conduct research on PFAS bioaccumulation mechanisms in fish. The project, titled "ELUCIDATING PFAS BIOACCUMULATION MECHANISMS IN FISH FOR DEVELOPING A NOVEL BIOMIMICKING APPROACH" (ER25-0006), is funded by the Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity, a component of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The contract was awarded on September 12, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 11, 2027. There is no set-aside designation associated with this award, indicating it was competed on an open basis. The research addresses critical environmental restoration priorities within SERDP's mandate to develop innovative solutions for Department of Defense environmental challenges.

This award emerged from SERDP's Core Broad Agency Announcement (W912HQ24S0001), which solicited proposals across multiple research focus areas including environmental restoration, munitions response, resource conservation, and resilience. The pre-solicitation was posted in November 2023 with proposals due in January 2024, with selected projects anticipated to begin in June 2025. URI's research capabilities in marine science, environmental assessment, and advanced technologies position the university to advance understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) persistence and accumulation in aquatic ecosystems, supporting the Department of Defense's broader environmental stewardship and restoration mission.
