The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences awarded University of Notre Dame a $430,422 Project Grant (CFDA 47.050, Geosciences program) on May 1, 2026, for collaborative research investigating particle transport through soil and groundwater. The primary deliverables include an improved predictive framework for modeling how nanoscale particles—including microplastics, pathogens, and contaminants—attach to and move through porous media. Research products will encompass laboratory experimental data, surface characterization analyses, and an integrated computational modeling framework that incorporates nanoscale surface interactions and particle-sediment contact history into transport prediction models. The project integrates theory, simulation, and machine learning methodologies to enhance prediction accuracy across multiple scales. Beyond the core research products, the award supports education and workforce development initiatives, as well as public awareness activities related to groundwater contamination and water quality protection. The three-year performance period (May 1, 2026–April 30, 2029) will generate peer-reviewed scientific publications, datasets, and modeling tools designed to advance the nation's capacity to predict contaminant spread and improve remediation strategies for protecting drinking water resources and ecosystem health. No subawards are planned under this award.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
