The University of Idaho received a $522,593 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029. The grant funds development of a sustainable phosphorus recovery process from wastewater treatment systems using encapsulated phosphorus-accumulating organisms. The research team will develop a biologically-based material in which microorganisms capable of capturing phosphorus are immobilized within a polymer structure, then evaluate material performance, microorganism population dynamics, and system efficiency across varying operating conditions. Deliverables include experimental results, process modeling to inform scale-up optimization, and life cycle analysis comparing the new recovery method to existing phosphorus recovery approaches. Beyond technological development, the project generates fundamental scientific knowledge regarding microbial processes influencing phosphorus capture while advancing practical applications for more resilient and sustainable wastewater treatment systems. The work addresses environmental protection and water resource management by enabling reliable phosphorus recovery from wastewater, thereby reducing nutrient pollution in surface waters and supporting agricultural sustainability. The award includes workforce development components providing education and job training for students and wastewater treatment workers. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
