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 $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 $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 Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $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 project is to investigate how daily environmental fluctuations, or "diel cycling", impact the fate of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) precursors in a unique, diatom-dominated constructed wetland. The interdisciplinary research approach combines field...

This $558,346 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 the University of Nebraska on the release, adsorption, and biotransformation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the water-sediment interface in agricultural watersheds. The key objectives are to: 1) measure the kinetics of PFAS release from decomposed biosolids and adsorption to sediments under anaerobic...

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 will quantify targeted and non-targeted PFAS in environmental media and biota using mass spectrometry techniques. They will also conduct field and mesocosm studies to understand the biotransformation of PFAS precursors in aquatic organisms and communities inhabiting wetlands impacted by municipal biosolids application on agricultural fields. The research aims to address current gaps in knowledge regarding how PFAS precursors metabolize within aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates and impact local ecosystems. Findings are expected to benefit resource managers given certain PFAS metabolites can bioaccumulate and produce toxicity. The three-year project will conclude on January 12, 2026.
