UCLA's Office of Research Administration received a $325,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), awarded February 15, 2026, with completion by January 31, 2029. This collaborative research initiative delivers three primary products and services: (1) fundamental scientific research examining the fate and transport of wildfire contaminants in wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires, with application to post-fire water and soil testing protocols; (2) community needs assessment through interviews with residents from fire-impacted communities to identify priorities influencing decontamination and economic recovery efforts; and (3) development of an artificial intelligence-supported interactive online platform that harmonizes multiple data sources through large language model-assisted and rule-based methods to provide structured reporting capabilities for stakeholders managing post-fire property decontamination efforts. The research addresses critical gaps in post-fire property sampling and testing methodologies by analyzing contaminants generated from burning of mixed household products and their transport through plumbing systems and burned soils. Engagement with fire-impacted community partners ensures that assessment tools and platform development reflect genuine stakeholder needs and priorities. The integrated approach combines environmental science, community input, and artificial intelligence innovation to enhance accessibility of contamination assessment data and support economic recovery in WUI fire-affected regions.Federal Grant Award Summary
