Specifically, the awardee will design recognition sites for anionic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award of $1,452,420, granted on December 15, 2024, supports research at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) to investigate the effects of external stimuli, particularly magnetic fields, on the thermo-physical properties of ferro-nanofluids. The project aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms driving the anomalous transport behaviors observed in these fluids, which have significant potential to enhance...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $280,000 Project Grant to the Texas A&M University System Health Science Center under the NSF Engineering (CFDA #47.041) program. The grant supports a 3-year collaborative research project to advance the fundamental understanding of using visible light to activate peroxydisulfate and generate sulfate radicals for the degradation and mineralization of organic micropollutants in water treatment and wastewater reclamation. The project aims to measure...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $400,000 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The three-year award running from June 2021 through May 2024 will support research titled "ERASE-PFAS: Microbial Electrochemical Defluorination of PFAS Using Bioaugmented Acidmicrobium sp. Strain A6." Conducted at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey, the research aims to develop a microbial process for removing per- and...
This Project Grant award of $412,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will be used by the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to investigate the use of engineered polymer microparticles to adsorb and remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from wastewater. The central hypothesis is that the adsorption of PFAS molecules will alter the interfacial properties of the microparticles, causing emulsions to destabilize and allowing for the capture...
