The $553,787 award to the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office Division is for a 3-year project to improve understanding of the fate and impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) transported through the atmosphere and their contribution to PFAS contamination in surface waters. Key project activities include: 1)...
- 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 $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 $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...
- 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 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program (CFDA 15.560), provides $311,880.59 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to demonstrate the use of hydrophobic ion-pairing to enhance the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from contaminated groundwater through a pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment system. The project aims to optimize the...
- 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 $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 University of Florida, Division of Sponsored Research, was awarded a $555,199 project grant from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) to conduct a 3-year study on the fate, trophic uptake, and toxicity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida. The key objectives are to: (1) characterize the seasonal diversity and concentration of 90 PFAS in water, sediment, and seagrass; (2)...
The Rutgers, The State University Research Financial Services Division was awarded a $558,001 Project Grant under the U.S. Geological Survey's Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). This 3-year grant, awarded on January 5, 2024, will support research to investigate the occurrence, fate, and transport of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination in aquifers at the USGS Cape Cod Toxic Substances Hydrology Research Site. Key research activities include: The project aims to provide new insights to promote the assessment and mitigation of public health and ecosystem risks from PFAS contamination stemming from common point sources. Findings will be disseminated through journal publications, conferences, and annual workshops with stakeholders. The grant also includes an educational component to train the next generation of environmental scientists. Additionally, Rutgers is collaborating with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) as a sub-grantee on a related USGS-funded PFAS research project worth $263,245.
