The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded $258,292 to the University of Illinois on April 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct a collaborative research project on utilizing industrial waste for sustainable soil restoration post-wildfire. The project will deliver research outputs including: (1) comprehensive characterization of the physical, chemical, and geotechnical properties of food industry byproducts and wildfire-burned soils; (2) controlled laboratory evaluations of food industry byproduct amendments for soil stabilization under variable field conditions; (3) a quantitative sustainability design framework assessing the life cycle sustainability of the proposed amendment approach; and (4) field implementation feasibility guidelines and best practices for practitioners. Beyond core research deliverables, the project will generate workforce development and educational products through the participation of undergraduate and graduate students in research activities and structured outreach to K-12 students, high school teachers, and students through hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) experiences. The three-year project (April 1, 2026 – March 31, 2029) addresses a critical national challenge by developing a sustainable methodology to repurpose millions of tons of annual food manufacturing waste for post-wildfire soil rehabilitation, thereby reducing disposal burdens while mitigating wildfire-related soil degradation impacts including erosion, nutrient loss, and contamination.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
