The National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers awarded a $1,400,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, also known as Sponsored Projects Services, a non-profit research administration organization. This 5-year grant will fund collaborative research to investigate the role of environmental factors like temperature, heavy metals, and other contaminants in the development of...
This $650,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 - Biological Sciences) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) supports research to investigate the role of environmental factors in the development of antibiotic resistance among bacteria in municipal wastewater treatment plants. The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: Conducting integrated field, laboratory, and computational studies to...
This $419,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by Iowa State University to develop and validate a computational model for predicting the fate and transport of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in surface water systems. The project aims to combine laboratory experiments, field measurements, and physics-based modeling to improve the ability to predict the risk of ARG spread through streams and rivers. The...
This $1,500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program will fund research to study the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in microbial communities and how this spread is affected by heavy metal pollution. The project will focus on a historically contaminated area of Birmingham, Alabama, where elevated levels of heavy metals appear to be driving the evolution of bacteria resistant to both toxic substances and antibiotics. The...
The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development awarded a $3,643,378 project grant under the Office of Research and Development Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program (CFDA 66.511) to The Water Research Foundation. The purpose of the project is to characterize exposure potentials of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs), and create a comprehensive risk assessment modeling framework tailored to antimicrobial resistance....
This $2,972,025 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program (CFDA 66.511) aims to establish a risk assessment framework for estimating human health risks from antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in surface waters influenced by municipal wastewater and biosolids. The key activities under this grant include: Collecting field data on ARB and ARG...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program (CFDA 66.511) provides $2,564,565 to quantify the effectiveness of wastewater treatment on the removal and/or selection of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and genes. The project will evaluate the wastewater treatment process, measure antimicrobial resistance entering and being discharged, and provide an understanding of the fate and...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program (CFDA 66.511) provides $2,937,765 to quantify the fate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, genes, and antibiotics in wastewater treatment utilities across the U.S. Over 2 years, the project will sample 40 wastewater treatment facilities across 5 regions, using both culture and molecular methods to quantify antibiotic-resistant bacteria and...
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....
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 principal goal is to create a competitive model microbial consortium specific to drinking water systems. The research will use bench-scale coupon experiments and a cell printing method to control initial biofilm colonization, and a unique plumbing...
