This $549,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research at George Washington University to investigate the impacts of bacteria-virus associations on the transmission, persistence, and health effects of enteric viruses in aquatic environments. The key objectives are to: 1) elucidate how bacterial association affects the infectivity, environmental persistence, and disinfection resistance of enteric viruses; 2) investigate the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $482,351 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the impacts of drinking water treatment and distribution processes on the survival and pathogenesis of water-associated pathogens, such as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The project aims to investigate how different drinking water treatment train configurations and associated chemical oxidant stressors influence the functional...
This $419,275 project grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to identify and characterize high-molecular weight disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed in chlorinated drinking water. The project will leverage advanced mass spectrometry techniques to study the complex mixture of organic compounds in natural and engineered water systems, with the goal of improving understanding of DBP composition and formation mechanisms. The...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $263,392 awarded on October 1, 2021 will fund the development of a spatial-temporal predictive framework for the drinking water microbiome through June 30, 2023. Under the NSF Engineering Directorate's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the awardee Georgia Tech Research Corporation will establish a long-term observatory to monitor microbiome dynamics in Boston's water distribution system. They will develop novel econometric and ecological...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $949,997 Project Grant to Iowa State University of Science and Technology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the role of environmental factors in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in municipal wastewater treatment plants. The five-year research project, starting November 1, 2023, will conduct field, laboratory, and computational studies to determine how susceptible bacterial strains are replaced by...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $221,627 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during drinking water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, beginning August 1, 2024, will investigate how PFAS compounds react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone. This research aims to improve...
This $440,135 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to develop a novel approach for identifying toxic byproducts and their precursors in drinking water treated with chemical oxidants. Funded under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the five-year award will support the principal investigator's research objectives to create a microbead-based reactivity-directed analysis assay for detecting organic electrophiles in water matrices and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $419,999.00 to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac to investigate the fate of infectious norovirus, the virus that causes the "stomach flu," during water and wastewater treatment operations. The research will use a new laboratory method involving human intestinal enteroids cells to measure infectious norovirus levels and evaluate its removal by disinfection, membrane filtration,...
This Project Grant award of $500,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research at Purdue University to engineer drinking water biofilms that are stable and resistant to invasion by pathogens. The goal is to develop a more sustainable approach to controlling biofilms in drinking water systems, which can harbor microbes that cost over $2.4 billion annually in healthcare costs. The 5-year project will use bench-scale experiments and a unique plumbing...
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,...
