Project Grant 2333307
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $250,000 to Utah State University (USU) to demonstrate the use of wastewater monitoring as a tool for assessing air pollution exposure and associated non-communicable diseases in underserved communities. The project aims to link air pollution, urine biomarkers, and wastewater data to develop community-based disease surveillance methods utilizing wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE)...
- This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) aims to integrate wastewater surveillance and human behavior data to enhance epidemiological modeling and outbreak detection. The principal investigators at Lawrence Technological University will pursue three main objectives: (1) developing an early-warning system using wastewater and digital/social behavior data, (2) creating a...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Convergence Accelerator program (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships) provides $649,984 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to develop a compact, customizable chemical sensing system integrated with new microsensors and data management/analytics technologies. The goal is to accurately quantify and monitor high-priority water...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $419,964 to Utah State University (USU) to investigate how different types of biofilms impact the movement of microplastics in turbulent flow. The key objectives are to: 1) assess characteristics of biofilms grown on microplastics, 2) quantify the dispersion and settling dynamics of biofilm-coated microplastics under turbulent conditions, and 3) develop a machine learning model to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,313 to Lawrence Technological University to enhance dynamic population-level epidemiological models by incorporating wastewater surveillance data. The project aims to improve the estimation of true disease prevalence, enhance forecasting of future COVID-19 cases, and monitor the emergence and evolution of viral variants. Key activities include...
- This $1,200,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a collaborative research effort to address the challenge of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) removal and conversion. Led by the University of Delaware, in partnership with several Southeastern universities, the project aims to build regional research capacity and infrastructure to enable PFAS mitigation within a circular economy framework. The key...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $458,433 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2027. The award will support the development of system analysis and modeling tools to establish a knowledge base for use and discharge of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances in the United States. Specifically, the Principal Investigator will collect and synthesize spatial and temporal data on polyfluoroalkyl and...
- This Project Grant award of $154,191 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort led by the University of Utah to evaluate the impacts of toxic dust from the shrinking Great Salt Lake on agriculture and ecosystems. The project aims to shed light on how this wind-blown dust, containing harmful heavy metals like arsenic and lead, deposits into nearby ecosystems and accumulates in important crops such as corn and alfalfa....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) project grant award, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $250,000 in funding to the University of Utah to demonstrate the link between air pollution, urine markers of pollution exposure, and wastewater monitoring in underserved communities. The project aims to develop community non-communicable disease surveillance tools utilizing wastewater-based epidemiology methods. The key products and services to be delivered include: Validating pollution exposure through mass spectrometry-based detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites in wastewater and air sampling in disadvantaged communities with higher air pollution exposure. Co-generating knowledge with the environmental justice community by including high schools and community members in sample collection and disseminating results through public meetings. The project period runs from July 15, 2024 to June 30, 2027. No subawards are planned for this award.
