OpportunityTitle: MODELS TO PREDICT THE REMOVAL OF EMERGING MICROPOLLUTANTS FROM WATER BY NOVEL ADSORBENTS IN FIXED-BED COLUMN PROCESSES
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Please see Section III of the funding opportunity announcement for eligibility information.
Description: The Innovative Water Technology Grant Program is designed to accelerate &#8220;the development and deployment of innovative water technologies that address pressing drinking water supply, quality, treatment, or security challenges of public water systems, areas served by private wells, or source waters.&#8221; Under the program, EPA shall make grants &#8220;(1) to develop, test, and deploy innovative water technologies; or (2) to provide technical assistance to deploy demonstrated innovative water technologies.&#8221; The models developed, tested and deployed under this solicitation for novel adsorbents for the removal of micropollutants from water are expected to contribute to the development of innovative water technologies for drinking water systems and expected to lead to the development of new and improved drinking water and wastewater treatment processes. The EPA anticipates funding approximately one award under this funding opportunity up to $1,000,000 in federal funds per award. A minimum 35% non-federal cost share/match of the total project costs is required. See Section III.B. for more details. 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.
