About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking research proposals to develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology that can detect, monitor, and degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater or surface water that may be used as drinking water sources. The EPA is soliciting this research through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program, a competitive, peer-reviewed, extramural research program. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit institutions/organizations, institutions of higher education (IHEs), and hospitals located in the U.S. and its territories or possessions; state and local governments; Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments; and U.S. territories or possessions. The EPA strongly encourages Minority Serving Institutions to apply. Proposals will be evaluated based on their technical merit, relevance to the solicitation, and qualifications of the research team.
The EPA anticipates funding approximately one award of up to $1,500,000 under this opportunity. The project period cannot exceed three years. The solicitation closes on November 13, 2024, and the research is expected to be conducted across various regions of the United States.
Synopsis
This funding opportunity is soliciting research to develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with functionalized catalysts that have the potential to degrade selected contaminants in addition to detecting and monitoring pollutants. Specifically, EPA is seeking proposals that use nanotechnology to detect, monitor, and degrade PFAS in groundwater or surface water that may be used as drinking water sources.
The Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program's goal is to stimulate and support scientific and engineering research that advances EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment. It is a competitive, peer-reviewed, extramural research program that provides access to the nation's best scientists and engineers in academic and other nonprofit research institutions. STAR funds research on the environmental and public health effects of air quality, environmental changes, water quality and quantity, hazardous waste, toxic substances, and pesticides.
EPA recognizes that it is important to engage all available minds to address the environmental challenges facing the Nation. EPA seeks to expand the environmental conversation by including members of communities which may have not previously participated in such dialogues to participate in EPA programs. For this reason, EPA strongly encourages all eligible applicants identified in Section III, including minority serving institutions (MSIs), to apply under this opportunity.
