About this award

The Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency awarded University of California, Davis $2.643 million under the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy program (CFDA 81.135) on February 4, 2026, to develop a living biomaterial that extracts rare earth elements—neodymium and dysprosium—from acidic mine-influenced waters including acid mine drainage and mine tailings liquor through innovative protein engineering and synthetic biology. The award is a competitive cooperative agreement titled "Innovative Biocatalysts through Protein Engineering and Synthetic Biology for Efficient, Highly Selective, and Scalable Recovery of Rare Earth Elements" under ARPA-E Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0003510 (REALIZE Energy-Rich Compound Opportunities Valorizing Extraction from Refuse Waters). Performance runs through February 4, 2029, at Davis, California. University of South Florida participates as a sub-recipient on a federal grant sub-award issued April 9, 2026.

Description

UC davis new recover award control number: 3118-1513 title: innovative biocatalysts through protein engineering and synthetic biology for efficient, highly selective, and scalable recovery of rare earth elements this competitive cooperative agreement for a research and development project entitled, "innovative biocatalysts through protein engineering and synthetic biology for efficient, highly selective, and scalable recovery of rare earth elements" is awarded university of california - davis under arpa-e FOA number DE-FOA-0003510(realize energy-rich compound opportunities valorizing extraction from refuse waters (recover)) and control 3510-1626. The purpose of this award is to develop a living "biomaterial" that pulls rare earth elements-neodymium (ND) and dysprosium (DY)-from acidic mine-influenced waters such as acid mine drainage and mine tailings liquor.
