This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041, Engineering, provides $241,750 to the University of Missouri System to research the transformation mechanisms and products of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) during water disinfection processes. The 3-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2027, aims to determine how PFAS and their precursors react with common disinfectants like chlorine and ozone during drinking water treatment. The research...
This Project Grant award of $160,041, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), focuses on developing a hybrid multilayer membrane system to remediate perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) contamination in water. The key products and services to be delivered include: Formulating and testing an environmentally benign hybrid membrane platform that can facilitate the degradation of PFOA and remove its breakdown by-products, thereby producing clean...
The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) received a $100,000 Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development under the P3 Award: National Student Design Competition for Sustainability federal grant program (CFDA #66.516). The award will support the development of an innovative Microwave-Assisted Membrane Filtration (MWM) system to enhance the removal of Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) from...
This Project Grant award of $350,000 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports a collaborative research project at the University of Missouri System (Missouri S&T) to discover enzymatic pathways that can break carbon-fluorine bonds in perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFAS). PFAS are a group of costly-to-remove chemicals that do not naturally break down in the environment due to their strong carbon-fluorine bonds. The goal of this 3-year project is to...
This Cooperative Agreement award of $120,000.00 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) will fund research at the University of Delaware to determine the public's response to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as an emerging environmental pollutant. The project will use experimental economics techniques to explore the public's willingness to purchase at-home water filters and the impact of receiving...
This Project Grant award for $420,000.00, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will develop a novel photochemical system to degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The research aims to (1) investigate the working mechanisms of the new reaction system, (2) examine its performance in degrading various PFAS, (3) characterize PFAS degradation pathways and products, and (4) evaluate and improve the system's performance...
This $36,630,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442) provides funding to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MoDNR) to implement resources and priorities to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other emerging contaminants in drinking water. The activities include projects such as research,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems provides $150,000 to support the development of quantitative tools to assess the mechanisms and potential of UV-activated persulfate radicals for treating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. With a completion date of July 31, 2024, this award under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program will fund research at the California State...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, aims to develop a novel at-home test kit for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. The total award amount is $260,993 with a project period from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026. The primary goals of this project are to: Optimize the adsorptive and photocatalytic performance of metal-organic...
This $199,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will fund research to elucidate the performance and mechanisms of nanofiltration (NF) for removing short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated water. The research aims to evaluate NF removal of diverse (ultra)short-chain PFAS, establish structure-property-performance relationships using machine learning, and investigate PFAS interactions with NF...
