This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143) supports the development of a field-deployable analyzer for detecting and quantifying trace levels of uranyl (uranium) in water. The $173,075 award to Ondavia, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of advanced chemical analysis technologies, aims to create a Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)-based...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Xcellassay, Inc. a $306,872 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant funding will support the development and characterization of a hand-held, bioassay-based test strip for rapid, in-field detection of water contamination by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The goal is to create a 1 x 1.5 cm detection strip printed with 20 nuclear receptor sensors that can be...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded Materials Nova LLC, a woman-owned small business, a $668,744 Project Grant under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program. The grant funding supports the development of an innovative, portable, and scalable point-of-use water purification system designed to remove bacteria and toxic metals like lead and mercury from natural water sources. The project aims to create a proof-of-concept prototype that...
This federal Project Grant award of $138,738 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education program (CFDA 93.143) supports the development of a membrane-based separation process called ion-capture electrodialysis (IC-ED) for remediating acid mine drainage (AMD) water. The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of simultaneously desalinating and recovering metals from AMD using a lab-scale IC-ED prototype...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) federal grant program, awarded Nona Technologies, Inc. a $297,815 project grant to develop a portable, standalone universal water purifier based on cation exchange resin-incorporated ion concentration polarization (CER-ICP) technology. The project aims to create a scalable CER-ICP cell prototype capable of producing 5 liters of drinking water per hour by reducing total dissolved solids...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) awarded a $260,993 Project Grant (CFDA 93.113 - Environmental Health) to Framergy Inc., in collaboration with Texas A&M University, to develop a novel at-home test kit for the detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water. The project leverages the unique properties of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and a readily available oxidant to achieve mineralization of PFAS into fluoride ions, which can then...
This $499,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) seeks to develop and validate an integrated sorption-photocatalytic process for the ex-situ treatment and remediation of groundwater contaminated by mixtures of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The principal investigator and research team at Southern Illinois University Carbondale will...
This $295,923 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program aims to optimize and validate a low-cost, minimally-invasive dried blood spot (DBS) collection device for accurately quantifying low blood lead levels (BLLs) in a single drop of capillary blood. The device will incorporate innovative and patented technologies to remove lead contamination from the filter paper, protect the paper from...
