This Project Grant award of $305,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of a portable device for rapid, on-site detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The award recipient, Wave Lumina Inc., will create a field-deployable sensor system that integrates surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and artificial intelligence-enhanced signal processing to detect PFAS at...
This $298,143 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of a portable instrument for measuring poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the University of Texas at Arlington from September 2022 through August 2025. PFAS are man-made chemicals used in firefighting foams and cleaning products that accumulate in the environment and pose health risks. Typically analyzed using expensive laboratory equipment, this new portable instrument aims to reliably measure...
This two-year, $194,025 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund the development of a low-cost, mass-scale sorbent for removing toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from drinking water. Montclair State University will design a fluorinated block copolymer sorbent that leverages self-assembly at solid-liquid interfaces to facilitate PFAS elimination. The porous polymer will be synthesized...
This $2,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program is developing an inexpensive, accurate point-of-use test for detecting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. The project, titled "NSF Convergence Accelerator Real-World Chemical Sensing Applications: Engineered Microbial Sensors for Monitoring PFAS in Drinking Water", is led by The Trustees of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will advance a new PFAS detection technology called Molecule-Probed Raman Spectroscopy (MPRS) at Villanova University. The $269,991 award from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 will fund research to: (1) understand fundamental mechanisms of how PFAS interactions with molecular probes amplify Raman signals to discover new PFAS detection probes, (2) investigate factors influencing PFAS...
This $933,796 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), funds the development of paper-based biosensor test strips to detect soil contaminants such as arsenic and PFAS. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will engage citizen scientists and use bacteria as sensors to produce quantitative readings of contaminant concentrations in soil. Two types of bacteria - E. coli functioning as the...
The University of Connecticut will receive a $450,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program.
