This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Revivbio, Inc., a minority-owned and woman-owned small business in Cambridge, MA, aims to develop an enzymatic bioremediation strategy to degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids (PFCAs), a class of toxic and bioaccumulating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The project will leverage cutting-edge protein engineering techniques, including generative...
This $499,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) seeks to develop and validate an integrated sorption-photocatalytic process for the ex-situ treatment and remediation of groundwater contaminated by mixtures of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The principal investigator and research team at Southern Illinois University Carbondale will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $150,000 to Claremont McKenna College to discover enzymatic pathways to break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of persistent chemicals that are costly to remove from the environment. The project aims to engineer special enzymes that can degrade these stable chemical bonds, which could unlock new technologies for PFAS remediation in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $499,997 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to fund research aimed at advancing the use of persulfate and powdered activated carbon for in situ capture and destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminating groundwater. The 3-year project will: 1) evaluate reaction kinetics for PFAS degradation using the persulfate/activated carbon treatment process, 2)...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143) supports the development of a scalable, microbial-based solution for in-situ remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-impacted soils. The $188,466 award to Bluumbio Inc., a woman-owned small business in California, will fund laboratory studies to characterize PFAS degradation resulting from...
This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project at the University of Missouri System (Missouri S&T) to discover enzymatic pathways that can break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of costly-to-remove chemicals that do not naturally break down in the environment due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds. The goal of this 3-year project is to...
This $999,940 Cooperative Agreement awarded on March 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program supports the development and field deployment of Purafide, LLC's plasma-based water treatment technology to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. The project aims to pilot the innovative plasma reactor technology at high-priority PFAS remediation and landfill sites in Michigan, with the goal of achieving PFAS...
This federal Project Grant award of $650,000.00 from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program is funding a 24-month effort by Home Grown Fuels, Inc., a woman-owned small business, to develop an in-situ phytoremediation approach for remediating PFAS-contaminated soils and returning farmland to productivity. The project aims to create commercially viable technological solutions to address environmental challenges in agricultural...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $119,998 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new sorbents that can stabilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge. Approximately 55% of the 7.2 million dry metric tons of sewage sludge (biosolids) produced annually in the U.S. is applied as soil amendments and fertilizers in agriculture and land restoration. However, the increasing detection of PFAS in...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Science Foundation under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, focuses on developing advanced electrochemical degradation technology for removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water. The $999,603 award to Elateq, Inc., a small, minority-owned business, aims to create a sustainable, cost-effective, and easily operated on-site solution to destroy these "forever chemicals" that are...
