- 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 $558,005 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 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...
- 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...
- This Project Grant from the US Geological Survey, under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805), provides $469,361 to The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs from January 2023 to January 2026. The funding will support field observations and numerical simulations to enhance understanding of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) deposition impacts on hydrologic systems in Ohio. Researchers will deploy air and plant samplers near...
- 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...
- 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 is a Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805). 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) using passive air samplers to measure gas and particle-phase PFAS concentrations over time and analyze how PFAS levels vary with distance from potential sources; 2) quantifying the flux of PFAS from atmospheric deposition to surface waters and investigating the fate of volatile PFAS precursors; and 3) screening air and water samples to identify novel and non-target PFAS compounds. Anticipated outcomes include validated passive sampling tools for atmospheric PFAS, datasets spanning air and water PFAS levels, and knowledge on the broader scope of PFAS present in the environment. The research will be published in peer-reviewed journals and contribute to a graduate student's PhD thesis.
