This $150,000 Project Grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will support the development of a new smartphone-enabled water quality monitoring data platform by Syntro TEK Corporation. Funded through the NOAA Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR), the platform aims to advance NOAA's goal of increasing public engagement in environmental research and monitoring. Under the award, Syntro TEK will develop quantitative water test strips fortified with standards, a smartphone app for automated data acquisition and analysis, and a relational database employing artificial intelligence-based data scrubbing. The platform seeks to make water quality monitoring more affordable, accessible and user-friendly for citizen scientists. Pilot testing will also be conducted during the six-month period of performance ending February 2022 to evaluate the platform's effectiveness in supporting NOAA's mission.
