The interdisciplinary team...
- This $650,920 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079), aims to investigate the vulnerabilities of community-managed water systems to climate change impacts and identify opportunities to strengthen their resilience. The project will focus on five climate-vulnerable locations globally, including indigenous communities in Kenya, South Sudan, Norway, Canada, and Alaska. Through a combination of climate scenario...
- This $107,246 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation will fund the "Collaborative Research: Water and Health Infrastructure Resilience and Learning (WHIRL)" project at North Carolina State University. The project aims to enhance understanding of the interactions between drinking water and public health systems and how these critical infrastructure systems adapt to challenges. It will investigate how the public...
- This $216,478 National Science Foundation project grant through the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will fund research at New Mexico State University in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the pathogenicity of bacteria surviving water disinfection processes. The two-year project beginning February 1, 2023 will explore the impact of chlorine water treatment on bacterial pathogens using advanced cellular assays and metatranscriptomics....
- This $419,863 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program, supports research to develop new methods for identifying hotspots of fecal contamination in terrestrial environments using coprophagous flies. The key objectives are to: (i) determine how fecal indicators are ingested and persist in coprophagous flies under varying environmental conditions; (ii) quantify fecal indicators in wild-caught coprophagous flies from communities...
DESCRIPTION:THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO ADVANCE THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF SANITATION JUSTICE (EQUITABLE ACCESS, AGENCY, AND ADAPTIVE CAPACITY FOR SANITATION INFRASTRUCTURE) AMIDST INTENSIFYING CLIMATE STRESSORS FOR MARGINALIZED U.S. COMMUNITIES.ACTIVITIES:THE PROJECT WILL 1) COMPARE SANITATION-RELATED EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINANTS FOR AN URBAN AND RURAL COMMUNITY; 2) PRIORITIZE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE STRESSORS ON SANITATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONTAMINANT HEALTH IMPACTS IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES; 3) DESIGN AND EVALUATE IMPROVED SANITATION INFRASTRUCTURE TO REDUCE EXPOSURE WHILE MAXIMIZING ECONOMIC VIABILITY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.SUBRECIPIENT:BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE ($340,000) WILL LEAD OBJECTIVE 1, AND IN PARTICULAR TASK 1.1 FOCUSED ON PARASITE QUANTIFICATION. CENTER FOR RURAL ENTERPRISE AND ENVIRONMENTAL (CREEJ) ($340,000) WILL CO-LEAD OBJECTIVES 2 AND 3, SPECIFICALLY THE SANITATION INFRASTRUCTURE SURVEY (TASK 2.1), WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON TECHNOLOGY DOWN-SELECTION (TASK 3.1) AND PILOT-SCALE INVESTIGATIONS (TASK 3.2).OUTCOMES:DELIVERABLES INCLUDE ANNUAL AND FINAL RESEARCH REPORTS AS WELL AS SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION FOR COMMUNITY LEADERS AND PLANNERS REGARDING DEMOGRAPHICS AND CONTAMINANT EXPOSURE, AS WELL AS OPEN-SOURCE DATASETS ON SANITATION QUALITY AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE. INTENDED BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE PUBLIC HEALTH AGENCIES AND RESIDENTS OF UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES.
