Posted by Environmental Protection Agency
Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement — DEVELOPING AND DEMONSTRATING NANOSENSOR TECHNOLOGY TO DETECT, MONITOR, AND DEGRADE POLLUTANTS — is cataloged under number EPA-G2024-STAR-G1 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 66.509, posted by Environmental Protection Agency. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on July 31, 2024. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $1,500,000. The agency has projected $1.5 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award.

Description
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.
