EPA is seeking applications for research to develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with the potential to detect, monitor, and degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater or surface water that may be used as drinking water sources. EPA is seeking projects with results that can be practically applied in real-world settings and potentially transform environmental monitoring and management. Applications must address both of the following research areas: (1) develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology to detect and monitor PFAS in drinking water sources, and (2) develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with functionalized catalysts to degrade PFAS.

EPA is hosting a webinar on this funding opportunity on August 29.
