This Project Grant award, valued at $1,599,522.00 and funded by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to enhance the understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) uptake and accumulation in plants grown in subsurface tile-drained fields irrigated with rural sewage effluent. The project will also explore the physical and molecular mechanisms governing PFAS uptake and accumulation in plants grown in...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to understand per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning in wastewater treatment plants, biosolids, and agricultural soils, as well as explore mitigation strategies. The project will: (1) survey wastewater treatment plants nationwide to study PFAS loading and biosolid characteristics, (2) leverage data to identify critical...
This $1,600,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) aims to comprehensively understand PFAS uptake and bioaccumulation in plants, advance PFAS remediation strategies in biosolids/soil, minimize PFAS uptake by plants, and develop real-time monitoring tools for PFAS. The key activities include: (1) developing and assessing integrated PFAS remediation methods for biosolids to...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $119,998 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new sorbents that can stabilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge. Approximately 55% of the 7.2 million dry metric tons of sewage sludge (biosolids) produced annually in the U.S. is applied as soil amendments and fertilizers in agriculture and land restoration. However, the increasing detection of PFAS in...
This $2,972,025 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program (CFDA 66.511) aims to establish a risk assessment framework for estimating human health risks from antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in surface waters influenced by municipal wastewater and biosolids. The project will generate field data, calibrate and validate fate-and-transport models...
The Regents of the University of California at Riverside was awarded a $750,000 project grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants program. The four-year project aims to develop strategies to minimize the accumulation of chemicals of environmental concern in edible plant tissues when using treated wastewater for agricultural irrigation. Through field experiments on row...
This $1,600,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program, with an award date of September 1, 2024, aims to test the hypothesis that proper engineering controls can allow the continued and beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil, producing PFAS-free products. The key activities include: (1) modeling PFAS solid-water coefficients and soil properties with and without powdered activated carbon, (2)...
The University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division received a three-year, $899,934 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA 10.310). The grant will fund agricultural field and greenhouse studies over three years to evaluate the effects of contaminants of emerging concern in treated sewage sludge or biosolids on soil health parameters when...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program, CFDA 10.310, provides $649,372 to the Stroud Water Research Center Inc. to study the impact of biosolids-derived per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on water quality in agricultural ecosystems over a 3-year period from July 2024 to June 2027. The research aims to understand the temporal dynamics, transport, and transformation of PFAS in soils, rivers, and...
This $622,873 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a research project at Purdue University to investigate the bioaccumulation and reproductive effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on largemouth bass in ponds receiving biosolid runoff. The key activities include an observational field study to characterize PFAS profiles in fish tissues, and a manipulative field experiment to...
