The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded $286,131 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to support an EPSCOR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Research Fellows project. The award, obligated on May 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for April 30, 2028, provides a fellowship to an Associate Professor and graduate student training to advance proteomic analysis for environmental remediation applications. The project adapts protein-based approaches from biomedical research to understand how soil microbes degrade emerging contaminants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, or "forever chemicals"), through differential peptide analysis and bioinformatical training in open-access proteomic workflows. The research is conducted in collaboration with Professor Rick Edmondson at the National Resource for Quantitative Proteomics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Primary deliverables include development of alternative proteomic strategies for environmental soil systems, training in state-of-the-art proteomic equipment, creation of aggregated bioinformatical databases for identifying novel protein-contaminant interactions, and capacity-building that strengthens partnerships between academic institutions and enhances Kansas's research competitiveness. The transdisciplinary approach integrates biochemistry and environmental engineering to discover biological pathways capable of degrading persistent contaminants, with potential applications toward ensuring safe, clean drinking water access.Federal Grant Award Summary
