This $100,000 Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3) Award Program (CFDA 66.516) aims to develop an affordable and easy-to-use sensor for highly selective and sensitive detection of lead in tap water. The key objectives are to: 1) optimize the selectivity and sensitivity of Janus gold nanorod-based colorimetric sensors for lead analysis in tap water, 2) quantify the influence of tap water matrices on lead sensor performance,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award to Northwestern University, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $3,000,000 over 5 years to develop rapid, in-home water quality biosensors to address global water security challenges. The project will leverage insights from the study of natural microbial water contaminant detection to create a synthetic biology biotechnology platform for detecting lead, copper, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), will fund a $120,000 research project at the University of Delaware. The project aims to determine the public's response to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as an emerging environmental pollutant. The research activities will include a survey to assess the public's preferences for tap water and water filters, as well as their...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) will advance a new approach to monitoring drinking water quality that aims to fill gaps in the current monitoring framework. The $2,000,000 project will develop a system that uses commercially available point-of-use (POU) filters as both treatment tools and monitoring devices. The new monitoring approach will be coupled with...
This $650,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) supports the development of engineered microbial sensors for assessing water quality. The primary objective is to create new low-cost sensing systems that can detect chemicals in water throughout the water cycle, including wastewater treatment, drinking water, industrial use, and stormwater discharges. The project employs a convergence research...
This $1,600,000 federal Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) supports a comprehensive research project to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. The key objectives are to: (1) develop integrated PFAS remediation methods for biosolids, (2) create technologies to prevent PFAS uptake by plants in biosolids-amended soils, (3) design and develop plant-based biosensors for...
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 Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center awarded a $229,405.32 cooperative agreement to Wayne State University under the Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering program (CFDA 12.630) to develop a low cost device for on-site detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. The goal of the project is to support the Department of Defense's mission through contributing technology for environmental...
This $933,796 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), funds the development of paper-based biosensor test strips to detect soil contaminants such as arsenic and PFAS. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will engage citizen scientists and use bacteria as sensors to produce quantitative readings of contaminant concentrations in soil. Two types of bacteria - E. coli functioning as the...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), provides $1,000,000.00 in funding to the Village of Evergreen Park, Illinois to implement a lead service line replacement project. The project will replace approximately 105 residential lead service lines with either copper or PVC, with the anticipated outcomes including improved water quality and lead-free drinking water for the selected...
