Purdue University received a $350,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) effective February 15, 2026, with completion targeted for January 31, 2029. This collaborative research initiative addresses post-fire property decontamination and economic recovery following wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires by delivering three primary products: (1) fundamental research examining the fate and transport of wildfire contaminants in water and soil systems to improve post-fire testing protocols; (2) qualitative data on community needs gathered through interviews with residents from fire-impacted areas; and (3) an artificial intelligence-supported interactive online platform that harmonizes disparate data sources into structured reports to support decontamination and economic recovery efforts. The project advances scientific understanding of contamination processes during WUI fires, particularly examining how household product combustion byproducts migrate through plumbing systems and burned soils. Through community engagement with fire-affected stakeholders, the research team will identify priority factors influencing decontamination decision-making. The resulting AI-assisted platform will leverage large language model and rule-based methodologies to provide accessible data navigation and assessment capabilities for multiple stakeholders involved in post-fire recovery operations, addressing identified gaps in property sampling, testing accessibility, and community-centered information availability.Federal Grant Award Summary
