Federal Project Grant Summary Wright State University received a $348,700 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) on September 24, 2025, for the purchase and installation of a comprehensive water treatment system serving the Laboratory Animal Resources (LAR) vivarium in Dayton, Ohio. The system comprises three integrated components: a water softener for pretreatment to extend reverse osmosis (RO) filter lifespan, an RO filtration unit capable of removing 99% of contaminants and acidifying water to prevent bacterial growth, and an automated bottle-filling station that processes approximately 1,200 bottles weekly for research animal consumption. The system includes a 485-liter storage tank and pH meter for quality assurance monitoring. The research infrastructure investment addresses documented water quality concerns affecting biomedical research outcomes at Wright State University. Tap water at the institution contains lead and elevated salt levels, and the underlying aquifer is susceptible to contamination due to geological factors confirmed by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. While municipal water meets EPA potable standards for human consumption, principal investigators have reported that water quality compromises laboratory animal research results. The water treatment system is designed for operational longevity, with proper maintenance supporting up to 15 years of service for the RO system and 20+ years for the bottle-filling station. The project completion date is September 23, 2026.
