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 project will use bench-scale experiments and a unique plumbing testing facility to control initial biofilm colonization, assess long-term biofilm stability, and explore models of biofilm-water interactions. The goal is to establish a competitive...
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...

This $270,411 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research by the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology to investigate the transformation of phenols to aliphatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water treatment. The research aims to identify critical factors and develop strategies to minimize the production of intermediate halophenols, which can form during the chlorination process used to disinfect drinking water. The project will collate data, use machine learning to analyze key factors in DBP formation, study the mechanisms of specific phenolic compounds, and develop treatment methods to reduce both aliphatic DBPs and halophenols. The outcomes are expected to help water utilities mitigate these unwanted DBPs and improve drinking water quality. No subawards are planned under this grant.
