The purpose of the award is to validate scalable technologies for the destruction of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) formulations containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The research will be conducted at...

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...

The University of Rhode Island received a $265,031 project grant award from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to conduct research related to multi-channel PDV and Raman spectroscopy under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800). This award will support research from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023 to maintain Air Force technological superiority in scientific areas relevant to its needs and prevent technological surprise by...

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 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Defense's Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) provides $203,000.00 to Trustees of Boston University to conduct research on discovering PFAS-free coatings by exploring a modular polymer chemistry with a self-driving lab. The research falls under the Basic Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.431), which supports fundamental research across scientific and technological domains critical to national security. The...

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 Cooperative Agreement award of $120,000.00 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) will fund research at the University of Delaware to determine the public's response to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as an emerging environmental pollutant. The project will use experimental economics techniques to explore the public's willingness to purchase at-home water filters and the impact of receiving...
