Project Grant 2309475
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $620,000 to researchers at Johns Hopkins University and partner institutions to investigate the impact of disinfectants on the release and transformation of microplastics and chemical additives from drinking water pipes. The study aims to evaluate the safety of plastic pipes, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE), when exposed to chlorinated...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041, Engineering, provides $241,750 to the University of Missouri System to research the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to determine how PFAS and their precursors react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone during drinking water treatment. The research...
- 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 Project Grant award of $419,275.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is funding a research project titled "Identifying Novel High-Molecular Weight Disinfection Byproducts in Engineered Water Systems." The project, awarded to the University of Wisconsin System's University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, aims to use state-of-the-art mass spectrometry techniques to study and identify high molecular weight disinfection byproducts (DBPs)...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $425,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to develop innovative plasma-assisted dehalogenation processes for recycling or fully mineralizing halogen-containing waste streams, with a focus on PFAS and PVC. This convergent research project will leverage the university's expertise in chemical reaction engineering, plasma science, and environmental engineering to...
- Purdue University was awarded a $330,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The three-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will support research towards an improved understanding of plastic pollutant generation and minimization processes for cured-in-place-pipe manufacture. As part of its mission to foster innovation and excellence in engineering...
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $208,277 Project Grant titled "NSF-BSF: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: SOLIDS AND REACTIVE TRANSPORT PROCESSES IN SEWER SYSTEMS OF THE FUTURE: MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION" under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The project aims to investigate the characteristics of solid waste entering sewer systems, the factors impacting its movement and accumulation,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $649,998 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to The Washington University and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The goal of the project is to develop a new passive water quality monitoring tool based on point-of-use water filters to address inequities in drinking water quality monitoring for under-resourced and minority populations. The Washington University will lead the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $198,285 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System on October 1, 2022 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to explore physical, biological and chemical processes controlling lead fate and transport through plastic plumbing materials. The University will characterize lead sorption and release mechanisms from high-density polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene pipes under varying water flow conditions and biofilm structures through November 2023. Dr. Brown at the University of Memphis will lead genomics, transcriptomics and machine learning components, training one PhD student, to identify biomarker genes detecting lead contamination in pipe biofilms. Results will further understanding of lead risks from plastic pipes to inform control efforts. The University of Memphis will receive a subaward as part of this work.
