The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) was awarded a $963,000 Project Grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617). The grant will support the acquisition of a liquid chromatograph high-resolution mass spectrometer (LC-HRMS) and an automated solid phase extractor (auto-SPE) for the UW-Madison PFAS Center of Excellence. This advanced instrumentation will expand the center's analytical capabilities, enable non-targeted analysis and suspect screening for PFAS compounds, and support research on PFAS in surface waters, groundwater, and the atmosphere, particularly in the Great Lakes region. The award will also provide training for UW-Madison faculty and students, and make the new equipment available to researchers across the campus and external collaborators, strengthening PFAS research networks. The project period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025.
