This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research into the environmental fate and infectivity of rotavirus and norovirus vesicles in wastewater and natural aquatic systems. The George Washington University will investigate the presence, persistence, and inactivation of virus clusters enclosed in fluid-filled sacs called vesicles, which have been shown to be more persistent, infectious, and resistant to disinfection than free...
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....
This $419,999 federal project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support research to characterize the fate of infectious norovirus, the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis, in water and wastewater treatment systems. The project will leverage a novel laboratory model using human intestinal enteroid cells to cultivate norovirus and evaluate its removal by disinfection, membrane filtration, and activated sludge processes. This research...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $263,392 awarded on October 1, 2021 will fund the development of a spatial-temporal predictive framework for the drinking water microbiome through June 30, 2023. Under the NSF Engineering Directorate's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), the awardee Georgia Tech Research Corporation will establish a long-term observatory to monitor microbiome dynamics in Boston's water distribution system. They will develop novel econometric and ecological...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program Project Grant award of $455,126 will support research by The Regents of the University of Colorado to quantify and model the transport of bacteria in porous media like soil. The 5-year project aims to improve our understanding of how bacteria interact with the complex flow landscape in soils, which could inform strategies to control bacterial transport and prevent the spread of pathogens in groundwater, promote sustainable agriculture by...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop methods for designing safe and effective bacteriophage cocktails to precisely control microbial growth in water systems. The $410,977 award to Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) will fund research to identify genetic and transcriptomic markers of synergistic versus antagonistic bacteriophage interactions and assess off-target infection risks. The project aims...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program grant award, titled "CAREER: BACTERIAL EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES IN WASTEWATER SYSTEMS: PERSISTENCE AND PRODUCTION TO DISSEMINATE VIRULENCE PROTEINS", was provided to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), a non-profit organization, to conduct research on bacterial extracellular vesicles in wastewater systems. The $467,262 award, which began on May 1, 2024 and runs through April 30, 2029, aims to...
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...
