This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $253,000 to the University of South Carolina to conduct a multi-part research study on a new class of disinfection by-products called halocyclopentadienes (HCPDs) found in drinking water. The key objectives are to: 1) assess the national occurrence of HCPDs in drinking water, 2) determine factors influencing HCPD formation, and 3) investigate the genotoxicity (potential cancer risk)...
This $349,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports collaborative research to compare the concentrations and toxicity contributions of different classes of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) formed during drinking water treatment. The key objectives are to: 1) Compare DBP formation and toxicity between chlorine/chloramine disinfection and granular activated carbon treatment followed by chlorination; 2) Assess how water source, age,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041, Engineering, provides $241,750 to the University of Missouri System to research the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to determine how PFAS and their precursors react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone during drinking water treatment. The research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) was granted to South Dakota State University in the amount of $229,589 to be performed from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The primary objectives of this research project are to: 1) use machine learning to identify critical factors in the transformation of phenols to aliphatic disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water, 2) investigate the formation of aliphatic DBPs and halophenols...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $221,627 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during drinking water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, beginning August 1, 2024, will investigate how PFAS compounds react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone. This research aims to improve...
This $550,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will enable the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) to develop data-driven solutions for prioritizing and controlling disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water. The key products and services include: Creating a comprehensive database of regulated and unregulated DBPs to address gaps in occurrence and toxicity data. Developing predictive machine learning...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $482,351 Project Grant to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the impacts of drinking water treatment and distribution processes on the survival and pathogenesis of water-associated pathogens, such as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The project aims to investigate how different drinking water treatment train configurations and associated chemical oxidant stressors influence the functional...
This $216,478 National Science Foundation project grant through the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at New Mexico State University in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the pathogenicity of bacteria surviving water disinfection processes. The two-year project beginning February 1, 2023 will explore the impact of chlorine water treatment on bacterial pathogens using advanced cellular assays and metatranscriptomics....
