This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey's Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805) provides $620,000 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to elucidate the health impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on bald eagles, an apex predator, in the Great Lakes region's river systems. The key activities include: Sampling blood from bald eagle nestlings, tissue from game fish, and water in the Wisconsin and St. Croix River systems to analyze...
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...
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, 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 federal Project Grant award, with a funding amount of $689,106.64, was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805). The award supports a research project at Purdue University to investigate the impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the microbiomes of various fish species, both in laboratory settings and in the wild. The key objectives are to analyze how PFAS exposure can alter fish gut microbiota and...
This Project Grant from the U.S. Geological Survey, under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805), provides $516,810 to the University of California Office of the President Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources to study the fate, transport and transformation of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in horizontal levees from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026. The researchers will monitor a suite of PFAS in an experimental...
This $500,000 project grant from the US Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a multi-year study at the University of New Hampshire investigating per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in New Hampshire lake ecosystems. The study aims to determine concentrations and profiles of 40 PFAS compounds, including precursors and terminal compounds, in sediments, water, and benthic and pelagic organisms in...
The US Geological Survey, through its Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes federal grant program (CFDA 15.805), awarded Purdue University $487,497 for its project titled "PFAS Precursor Bioaccumulation and Biotransformation in Agriculturally Impacted Wetland Food Webs." The project will study the in vivo transformation and ecological effects of polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) precursors in wetlands located in Indiana. Specifically, the researchers...
This Project Grant award of $622,873.00 from the U.S. Geological Survey's Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a research project at Purdue University to investigate the bioaccumulation and effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on largemouth bass reproduction. The project aims to characterize PFAS levels in ponds receiving biosolid runoff, determine if PFAS exposure impacts bass reproduction under field conditions, elucidate underlying molecular...
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...
