This $500,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to engineer drinking water biofilms to achieve long-term biological stability and resistance to invasion, especially by pathogens. The project will use bench-scale experiments and a unique plumbing testing facility to control initial biofilm colonization, assess long-term biofilm stability, and explore models of biofilm-water interactions. The goal is to establish a competitive...
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) 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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $246,221 Project Grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to Vanderbilt University for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: JOINT CONTROL OF HYDRAULICS AND WATER QUALITY DYNAMICS IN DRINKING WATER NETWORKS." The two-year project beginning October 1, 2021 aims to develop control strategies to optimize water quality and system hydraulics in drinking water distribution networks. As the NSF's Engineering directorate seeks...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $500,000.00 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to develop a real-time forecasting system that predicts drinking water quality in three Appalachian reservoirs. The project will create an integrated catchment-reservoir model to predict how environmental hazards like droughts, wildfires, and floods impact water quality, allowing water managers to...
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 National Science Foundation project grant of $150,000 supports research examining the impact of social capital on access to safe drinking water from private wells. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the University of Virginia will evaluate how positions in social networks contribute to water quality, particularly after flooding events. Researchers will analyze cell phone mobility data to construct social networks and measure network...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $160,041 to West Virginia University Research Corporation to develop an environmentally benign hybrid membrane platform that facilitates the degradation and removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from drinking water. The project will immobilize the enzyme laccase onto a polyelectrolyte membrane to break down PFOA and its byproducts, producing clean water. The research will also...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $254,976 Project Grant to Resbonds International Corporation through the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop a digital platform for assessing water quality at urban-watershed interfaces. The platform will integrate physical data from advanced monitoring systems with artificial intelligence to serve as a scalable analytics platform using environmental, economic, and social data. It aims to help cities and utilities finance infrastructure projects...
