The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,234,866 Cooperative Agreement under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Aqua Science LLC, a small disadvantaged business located in Newark, Delaware. The funding supports the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. This innovative ELISA technology aims to provide a more affordable and...
This $298,143 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of a portable instrument for measuring poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the University of Texas at Arlington from September 2022 through August 2025. PFAS are man-made chemicals used in firefighting foams and cleaning products that accumulate in the environment and pose health risks. Typically analyzed using expensive laboratory equipment, this new portable instrument aims to reliably measure...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,645 awarded on March 15, 2022 supports research and development of an advanced electrochemical system for degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The awardee, Elateq, Inc. of Amherst, MA, will design and test a novel cathodic treatment prototype employing reductive and oxidative electrodes and catalyst-coating materials to break down PFAS contaminants in water through electrochemically-induced reduction and...
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 SBIR Phase I project, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to develop a portable device for rapid, on-site detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The $305,000 award to Wave Lumina Inc. will fund the development of a sensing platform that integrates surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced signal processing to enable detection of...
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $275,000 Project Grant to Water Illumination Inc., a small minority-owned business, to develop a tunable deep ultraviolet (UV)-based technology for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. This grant, funded under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to create a cost-effective, chemical-free water treatment system capable of nearly complete PFAS elimination without...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $301,130 project grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) to study the molecular and nanoscale structure and interactions of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous solutions, at interfaces, and with other surfactants. The research aims to develop fundamental knowledge that supports improved water quality and the design of...
