This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), is intended to train public water system operators in Delaware on new maximum contaminant levels for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and provide guidance on cost-effective PFAS treatment technologies. The $260,000 award will fund the installation of a PFAS pilot-scale unit and bench-scale system at a public water system in...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $3,000,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to the University of Maine System (UMS), with a period of performance from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2027. The purpose of this project is to fund research at UMS to develop a comprehensive management strategy for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that supports farmers, citizens, and the Maine economy, and to gain a thorough...
This $1,234,866 Cooperative Agreement award, granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, supports the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The broader impact of this project is to bring a cost-effective, rapid ELISA testing method to market as an alternative to the current slow and expensive liquid chromatography-mass...
This $1,600,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program aims to test engineering controls to enable continued beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil while producing PFAS-free products. The key activities include: (1) modeling PFAS solid-water coefficients and soil properties with/without powdered activated carbon, (2) developing machine learning models for PFAS accumulation predictions, (3)...
This is a Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The $553,787 award to the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office Division is for a 3-year project to improve understanding of the fate and impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) transported through the atmosphere and their contribution to PFAS contamination in surface waters. Key project activities include: 1)...
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 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $558,345.00 to Purdue University to investigate the distribution, fate, and impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Lake Michigan ecosystem. The project will assess PFAS accumulation in tissues of various fish species through lab experiments and field sampling, as well as measure biochemical and transcriptomic...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant award was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) to the University of Utah. The goal is to understand the sewage sludge treatment processes contributing to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning into biosolids, PFAS accumulation in agricultural soils, and potential mitigation strategies. Key activities include national sampling of wastewater treatment...
This $558,203 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports research at Purdue University to study the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic environments. Key project activities include: Integrating microfluidic sensors for rapid PFAS detection, field sampling of biofilms and macroinvertebrates, identifying factors influencing...
This Project Grant award of $619,816, provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), will fund research to explore the biogeochemical effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in constructed wetlands. The key objectives of the 3-year project are to: 1) identify the impacts of biogeochemical processes on PFAS water treatment in wetlands, 2) determine the implications of plant uptake and...
