- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113), is funding the development of a sensor for monitoring orthophosphates in wastewater. The goal is to enable efficient wastewater treatment through data-driven process control strategies. The award of $313,220 to Max-Ir Labs Incorporated, a woman-owned small business in Dallas, Texas, supports the creation of a sensor prototype based on...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $305,754 Project Grant to Innovaprep LLC, a for-profit company based in Drexel, Missouri. The grant, running from September 2025 to August 2026, aims to develop an innovative and cost-effective per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) sample preparation system that can significantly lower method detection limits and enhance high-throughput capabilities....
- This $313,372 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) supports the development of an environmental sensor for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). PFAS are a class of "forever chemicals" that have widespread contamination in the environment and pose significant human health risks. The funding will enable the awardee, Pearlhill Technologies LLC, to...
- This $563,468 federal project grant was awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to Interlink Electronics, Inc., a for-profit company based in Irvine, California. The grant supports the development of a high-resolution, ground-level air quality monitoring system using hyper-local, low-cost sensor nodes and AI forecasting technologies. The project aims to create a truly low-cost sensor node to monitor...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $306,789, was provided by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant aims to develop an at-home lateral flow assay (LFA) system for rapid, low-cost detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water samples. The innovative approach integrates a magnetic nanoparticle pre-concentration method to achieve the sensitivity required by EPA standards, down...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support Framergy, Inc., in collaboration with Texas A&M University, to develop a simple and low-cost method for detecting a broad range of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that can be used as an at-home test kit. The $260,993 award, granted on June 1, 2025, will fund research to leverage novel metal-organic framework...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), through its Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $309,285 Project Grant to Foundation Instruments Inc., a small business located in Tennessee. The grant supports the evaluation of the technical feasibility for an affordable, on-site "HAA-meter" device that can provide real-time monitoring of haloacetic acids (HAAs) in drinking water treatment plants. The proposed technology aims to integrate machine learning algorithms to automate the interpretation of chromatographic data, enabling drinking water operators to make more informed decisions to minimize HAA formation and reduce chemical/energy usage. This SBIR Phase I project will assess the viability of the HAA-meter concept, with the goal of developing a cost-effective solution that can improve drinking water quality and treatment plant efficiency.
