This $591,846 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The funding supports the development of a novel class of granular sorbents by Sorbenta Inc. that can selectively remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from complex water sources. The key objectives are to enhance the regenerability of the sorbents, investigate their compatibility to treat a range of...
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $174,049 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212) grant to Cache Environmental Laboratories, P.C. to develop a low-cost, biochar-based electrochemical device for rapid and accurate detection of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in rural water supplies. The portable pollutant detection device utilizes inexpensive lignin-based...
This $305,000 SBIR Phase I Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) supports the development of a portable contaminant field screening device for rapid measurement of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The project aims to develop an affordable, field-deployable PFAS sensing system that integrates surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced...
The National Science Foundation has awarded a $275,000 Project Grant to Water Illumination Inc., a small minority-owned business, to develop a tunable deep ultraviolet (UV)-based technology for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. This grant, funded under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to create a cost-effective, chemical-free water treatment system capable of nearly complete PFAS elimination without...
This $298,143 National Science Foundation project grant will support the development of a portable instrument for measuring poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by the University of Texas at Arlington from September 2022 through August 2025. PFAS are man-made chemicals used in firefighting foams and cleaning products that accumulate in the environment and pose health risks. Typically analyzed using expensive laboratory equipment, this new portable instrument aims to reliably measure...
This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program award (CFDA 10.212) provides $647,446 to Cache Environmental Laboratories, P.C. to develop and commercially deploy a biochar-based electrochemical impedance PFAS detector technology. The funding supports research and development to create a portable, low-cost device capable of reliably measuring per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Nanoaffix Science LLC a $600,000 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant supports the development of a graphene-based, handheld sensor device for the rapid, on-site detection of total lead in drinking water. This product aims to address the issue of aging water infrastructure containing lead components that leach into tap water, posing health risks, particularly to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,234,866 Cooperative Agreement under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Aqua Science LLC, a small disadvantaged business located in Newark, Delaware. The funding supports the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The goal is to create a more cost-effective ($40 per sample) and higher throughput (120 samples per...
This $499,454.23 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program aims to develop edible sorbent therapies to mitigate dietary exposures to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals." The project seeks to create multicomponent sorbents derived from naturally occurring or safe materials that can effectively reduce PFAS exposures from the diet. Key activities...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,645 awarded on March 15, 2022 supports research and development of an advanced electrochemical system for degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. The awardee, Elateq, Inc. of Amherst, MA, will design and test a novel cathodic treatment prototype employing reductive and oxidative electrodes and catalyst-coating materials to break down PFAS contaminants in water through electrochemically-induced reduction and...
