The University of Florida (UF) was awarded a $300,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to identify promising treatment technologies for phosphorus (P) mitigation in the South Florida Everglades region. The project, titled "REDDDOT PHASE 1: PLANNING GRANT: TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES FOR PHOSPHORUS MITIGATION", will engage stakeholders to understand technological needs and perspectives on advanced P capture and recovery methods for this unique wetland ecosystem. Findings will be used to develop selection criteria for screening novel P mitigation technologies that may warrant further investigation through future NSF funding. The project also includes a $50,000 sub-award to North Carolina State University to assist with stakeholder engagement activities. Overall, this planning grant award aims to protect the Everglades by identifying viable treatment technologies and building stakeholder consensus for their effective adoption and implementation in South Florida.
