The National Science Foundation awarded Aqua Science LLC a $255,751 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program to develop new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for detecting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in soil and water. The grant period runs from April 15, 2022 through March 31, 2023. Under this award, Aqua Science will develop novel ELISAs to detect perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), two prevalent...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Science Foundation under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, focuses on developing advanced electrochemical degradation technology for removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. The $999,603 award to Elateq, Inc., a small, minority-owned business, aims to create a sustainable, cost-effective, and easily operated on-site solution to destroy these "forever chemicals" that are...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Convergence Accelerator Cooperative Agreement award, under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, is developing an inexpensive and accurate point-of-use test for detecting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. The $2,000,000 award, effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028, is funding the creation of a new class of biohybrid devices that combine the specificity of a yeast G-protein coupled...
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $275,000 Project Grant to Water Illumination Inc., a small minority-owned business, to develop a tunable deep ultraviolet (UV)-based technology for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. This grant, funded under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to create a cost-effective, chemical-free water treatment system capable of nearly complete PFAS elimination without...
This Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $200,000, was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the USGS Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808). The purpose of this 2-year award is to further optimize molecularly imprinted polymer-based electrochemical sensors for the detection and transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex environmental matrices. The research will focus on in-field deployment and evaluation of the sensor's performance in surface...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $305,000.00 in funding to Wave Lumina Inc. to develop a portable device for rapid, on-site detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The innovation aims to address the urgent need for affordable, real-time PFAS monitoring, particularly near military bases, airports, and industrial facilities. The project will develop a...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,645 awarded on March 15, 2022 supports research and development of an advanced electrochemical system for degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The awardee, Elateq, Inc. of Amherst, MA, will design and test a novel cathodic treatment prototype employing reductive and oxidative electrodes and catalyst-coating materials to break down PFAS contaminants in water through electrochemically-induced reduction and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $269,991 to Villanova University aims to advance a new PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) detection technology called Molecule-Probed Raman Spectroscopy (MPRS). The project will integrate experiments with computational modeling to understand the fundamental mechanisms of how PFAS interacts with molecular probes, which amplifies Raman signals for rapid and sensitive PFAS detection. The key...
