- This $970,384 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) supports research at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), a historically Black college and university, to investigate the role of mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) in driving sterile inflammation following muscle contraction-induced injury. The key objectives are to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which mtDAMPs mediate the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the NSF Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), will provide $212,973 to the University of Utah from July 2023 to June 2026 to conduct collaborative research on the molecular and nanoscale structure and interactions of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals." The research will investigate PFAS surfactants in aqueous solutions and at water-air, water-oil, and water-solid...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $249,999 Project Grant to William Marsh Rice University under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The grant supports the development of an advanced materials-based technology to permanently destroy toxic and persistent per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to optimize a photocatalysis-based approach that uses only light to degrade PFAS, without requiring chemical additives. The...
