This $367,243 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research focused on the changes in municipal waste management systems necessary to increase the use of compost in agriculture and food production. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) quantify the spatial scale of municipal organic waste management systems, 2) analyze the local factors that influence these systems, and 3)...
This $205,767 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a novel hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology that efficiently recovers nutrients from animal manures while also producing value-added engineered carbons. The key objectives are to: 1) Develop a pH-swing HTC process to recover nutrients into liquid fertilizer from wet animal manures; 2) Analyze the effects of different modification methods on the...
This $449,919 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by the West Virginia University Research Corporation to develop surface-modified membranes for recovering key fertilizer macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from wastewater. The goal is to enable efficient recovery of these valuable nutrients, while preventing their release into the environment and reducing reliance on energy-intensive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant, awarded on September 1, 2024 for $450,000.00, will support research to assess the environmental and economic impacts of different post-mining land reclamation practices in central Wyoming. The project will examine the hydrologic, vegetative, and ecological outcomes of traditional versus geomorphic reclamation techniques across a chronosequence of reclaimed sites. Researchers will collect field, remote...
This $244,018 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Florida Institute of Technology Inc. aims to develop a novel hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology that efficiently recovers nutrients from animal manure.

The National Science Foundation Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $1,745,419 Project Grant to the Desert Research Institute to support the Organic Waste Lifecycles at the Interface of Food, Energy, Water Systems (OWL-FEWS) project from April 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023. Under the NSF Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program, which seeks to foster innovation and excellence in engineering research and education, the OWL-FEWS project will examine...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $915,128 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Purdue University. The grant, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2028, aims to develop an innovative and integrated bio- and physico-chemical process to effectively recover critical metals from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills and associated leachates. Key objectives of the project include: (1) characterizing the critical metal content in U.S. landfill leachates,...
This $800,000 Project Grant awarded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, will develop a robust and scalable processing platform for converting food waste into high surface area carbon materials for use in supercapacitors. The project will apply a hydrothermal carbonization method to capture the organic carbon from food waste, and then thermochemically activate the resulting hydrochar to produce high...
