- This $107,246 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation will fund the "Collaborative Research: Water and Health Infrastructure Resilience and Learning (WHIRL)" project at North Carolina State University. The project aims to enhance understanding of the interactions between drinking water and public health systems and how these critical infrastructure systems adapt to challenges. It will investigate how the public...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) provides $200,000 to the University of Puerto Rico Research and Development Center Division to develop a "dual-phase redox-driven electrochemical system" capable of simultaneously detecting heavy metal contamination and desalinating water. The system leverages redox-active polymers to selectively capture contaminants like arsenate and chromate, while also removing salts through the desalination...
- This federal Project Grant award of $199,992.00 was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The project, titled "HYDROGEOLOGIC CONTROLS ON THE ACCUMULATION, TRANSPORT, AND DISCHARGE OF FECAL INDICATOR BACTERIA IN COASTAL BEACHES", will investigate how coastal hydrologic forces influence the movement and discharge of fecal indicator bacteria in beach aquifers. The research team will conduct...
- This $216,478 National Science Foundation project grant through the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at New Mexico State University in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the pathogenicity of bacteria surviving water disinfection processes. The two-year project beginning February 1, 2023 will explore the impact of chlorine water treatment on bacterial pathogens using advanced cellular assays and metatranscriptomics....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $477,883 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst. The goal of this CAREER award is to test the hypothesis that local water storage can be designed to preserve or improve water quality following contamination events while achieving resiliency through interruptions to water supplies. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the effects of contamination on the accumulation,...
- This three-year, $400,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering (NSF OISE) CFDA #47.079 program will support international collaborations to develop expertise in solving water-related challenges.
