Federal Grant Award Summary Florida Atlantic University received a $569,156 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. This Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award supports fundamental research to elucidate the molecular-level mechanisms of oxidative degradation in amine-functionalized sorbent materials. The primary deliverable is a comprehensive experimental investigation employing precisely engineered surface modifications, advanced spectroscopic techniques, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and structural characterization tools to delineate how transition metals, heteroatoms, surface hydroxyl density, and amine aggregation influence thermo-oxidative stability and degradation pathways in immobilized amines. The research outcomes are expected to generate longer-lasting, more reliable amine-modified sorbent materials for air and water purification applications, with direct relevance to U.S. energy security and advanced manufacturing in power generation and fossil fuel purification. Additionally, the award integrates workforce development and educational outreach components, including professional development support for engineers and scientists, hands-on learning activities for middle and high school students, and classroom materials for science teachers to connect the research to real-world environmental and engineering challenges.
