- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes (CFDA 15.805) program provides $622,873 to Purdue University to conduct research on the bioaccumulation and effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on largemouth bass reproduction. The key activities to be performed under this 3-year award (1/1/2025 - 12/31/2027) include: Conducting an observational field study to characterize PFAS profiles in water, sediment, and bass...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $620,000.00, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). The purpose of the award is to determine the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on microbiome health and neurotoxicity in bluegill, an economically and ecologically important fish species in the Great Lakes region. The key research activities include: 1) characterizing PFAS bioaccumulation and...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will provide $512,496 to Purdue University over 2.5 years to develop and validate a robust laboratory method for quantifying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in complex environmental matrices. The key focus is on evaluating a hydrogen peroxide oxidative pretreatment approach to improve extraction and analysis of understudied PFAS...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded the University of New England $163,856 on April 10, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to conduct a prospective study of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) mixtures and pregnancy outcomes using data from the Study of Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids (SELF). The research leverages an existing cohort of reproductive-aged Black women from Detroit, Michigan, recruited between 2010 and 2012 when...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded North Carolina State University $4,233,899 under the NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143) on August 1, 2026, to evaluate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure and associated metabolic health effects across three North Carolina communities with contaminated drinking water supplies. The research examines PFAS-induced dyslipidemia and obesity in approximately 1,000...
- This $558,203 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports research at Purdue University to study the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic environments. Key project activities include: Integrating microfluidic sensors for rapid PFAS detection, field sampling of biofilms and macroinvertebrates, identifying factors influencing...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $558,345.00 to Purdue University to investigate the distribution, fate, and impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Lake Michigan ecosystem. The project will assess PFAS accumulation in tissues of various fish species through lab experiments and field sampling, as well as measure biochemical and transcriptomic...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences awarded Silent Spring Institute, Inc., $154,700 on August 28, 2026, under the NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143) to assess associations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) exposure from drinking water and hypertension and blood pressure among adults and children. The project will analyze measured and historically reconstructed serum PFAS concentrations in relation to blood...
- This $558,005 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a 3-year study on the occurrence, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in natural and constructed wetlands. The key objectives are to: 1) understand if PFAS concentrations increase through the wetland food chain and evaluate the ability of wetlands to remove these chemicals; 2)...
- This Project Grant award of $620,000 was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805) to Clemson University. The project aims to determine what portion of total organic fluorine (TOF) measured in U.S. surface waters is attributable to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) versus fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Activities include measuring TOF, PFAS, and fluorinated chemicals in surface water samples...
