The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,234,866 Cooperative Agreement under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Aqua Science LLC, a small disadvantaged business located in Newark, Delaware. The funding supports the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The goal is to create a more cost-effective ($40 per sample) and higher throughput (120 samples per...
This $550,000 award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of a hybrid, scalable data management system to improve access to scientific knowledge in data science. The project aims to create an intelligent, user-friendly interface that can extract, organize, and provide deep access to relevant concepts from peer-reviewed scientific literature. Key objectives include: Building a comprehensive knowledge...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $649,998 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to The Washington University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The goal of the project is to develop a new passive water quality monitoring tool based on point-of-use water filters to address inequities in drinking water quality monitoring for under-resourced and minority populations. The Washington University will lead the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,997 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to fund research aimed at advancing the use of persulfate and powdered activated carbon for in situ capture and destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminating groundwater. The 3-year project will: 1) evaluate reaction kinetics for PFAS degradation using the persulfate/activated carbon treatment process, 2)...
This $199,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to elucidate the performance and mechanisms of nanofiltration (NF) for removing short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water. The research aims to evaluate NF removal of diverse (ultra)short-chain PFAS, establish structure-property-performance relationships using machine learning, and investigate PFAS interactions with NF...
