OpportunityTitle: DEVELOPING AND DEMONSTRATING NANOSENSOR TECHNOLOGY TO DETECT, MONITOR, AND DEGRADE POLLUTANTS
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Please see Section III of the funding opportunity announcement for eligibility information.
Description: This Request for Applications (RFA) 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&#8217;s goal is to stimulate and support scientific and engineering research that advances EPA&#8217;s mission to protect human health and the environment. It is a competitive, peer-reviewed, extramural research program that provides access to the nation&#8217;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.
