- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program, provides $260,993 to Framergy, Inc., in collaboration with Texas A&M University, to develop a simple and low-cost method for detecting a broad range of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that can be used as an at-home test kit. The project leverages the unique properties of metal-organic frameworks and a readily available...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, is funding the development of an at-home lateral flow assay (LFA) system for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the parts-per-trillion level. The $306,789 award to Biota Inc., a woman-owned small business located in Fort Collins, CO, aims to create an innovative approach that leverages the competition...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) Federal Grant Program, provides $313,372 to Pearlhill Technologies LLC to develop an environmental sensor for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are "forever chemicals" that are pervasive in the environment and pose serious health risks. The goal of this project is to create an inexpensive, versatile sensor capable of...
- This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program award (CFDA 10.212) provides $647,446 to Cache Environmental Laboratories, P.C. to develop and commercially deploy a biochar-based electrochemical impedance PFAS detector technology. The funding supports research and development to create a portable, low-cost device capable of reliably measuring per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances...
- 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...
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), through its Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617), awarded a $1,350,000 Project Grant to Michigan State University (MSU) to test the use of liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) for isotopic profiling of carbon and sulfur isotopes in per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). The primary goal is to develop an approach that can aid in source apportionment of PFAS contamination in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award to Wave Lumina Inc. will develop a portable, field-deployable device for rapid, real-time detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The $305,000 award, effective May 15, 2025 through April 30, 2026, aims to create an affordable sensor system that integrates surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and artificial intelligence (AI) for detecting PFAS at...
- This $298,143 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of a portable instrument for measuring poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the University of Texas at Arlington from September 2022 through August 2025. PFAS are man-made chemicals used in firefighting foams and cleaning products that accumulate in the environment and pose health risks. Typically analyzed using expensive laboratory equipment, this new portable instrument aims to reliably measure...
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $5,000,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617) to the University of Maine System's University of Maine Division to establish a per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) analytical laboratory on the UMaine campus. The funds will support designing and equipping the state-of-the-art PFAS analytical and detection center, hiring and sustaining staff, and providing PFAS analytical...
This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach program (CFDA 11.620). The $395,814.74 grant, awarded on October 1, 2025, supports the research and development of novel solvent-free extraction methods for measuring per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure using thermal desorption (TD) and/or purge-and-trap (P&T) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The primary objectives are to significantly reduce extraction time, costs, and contamination risks inherent in conventional PFAS exposure monitoring methods, ultimately delivering a scalable and cost-effective tool for comprehensive personal exposure assessment. The intended beneficiaries of this research include households, military organizations, and first responders within the United States. The award recipient, Myexposome Inc., is a for-profit organization specializing in environmental monitoring solutions and is not planning to make any subawards under this grant.
