This $549,999 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) will fund research at George Washington University to elucidate the impact of bacterial association on the infectivity, environmental persistence, and disinfection resistance of enteric viruses. The project aims to investigate the occurrence, abundance, and removal of emerging bacteria-associated viruses in...
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 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 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $995,600 to Purebiox, Inc. to develop an end-to-end solution for high-volume water microbiological testing. The project aims to enhance public health and safety by enabling early detection of waterborne viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and norovirus, potentially weeks before outbreaks occur. The solution integrates a novel filtration cartridge and...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award to Northwestern University, under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074), provides $3,000,000 over 5 years to develop rapid, in-home water quality biosensors to address global water security challenges. The project will leverage insights from the study of natural microbial water contaminant detection to create a synthetic biology biotechnology platform for detecting lead, copper, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $477,883 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst. The goal of this CAREER award is to test the hypothesis that local water storage can be designed to preserve or improve water quality following contamination events while achieving resiliency through interruptions to water supplies. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the effects of contamination on the accumulation,...
This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) aims to integrate wastewater surveillance and human behavior data to enhance epidemiological modeling and outbreak detection. The principal investigators at Lawrence Technological University will pursue three main objectives: (1) developing an early-warning system using wastewater and digital/social behavior data, (2) creating a...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $949,997 Project Grant to Iowa State University of Science and Technology under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to investigate the role of environmental factors in the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in municipal wastewater treatment plants. The five-year research project, starting November 1, 2023, will conduct field, laboratory, and computational studies to determine how susceptible bacterial strains are replaced by...
