Grant Description

Grant to a USA or territories IHE, nonprofit organization, hospital, agency, or tribe for a research project to develop nanotechnology that will assist with monitoring environmental pollutants. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete.

This RFA is soliciting research to develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with functionalized catalysts that have potential to degrade selected contaminants in addition to detecting and monitoring pollutants.

This RFA solicits applications that address both of the following research areas. Applications that only address one research area may not be rated as highly as those that address both.

Research Area 1: Develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology to detect and monitor pollutants. The proposed nanotechnology should detect and monitor pollutants that are linked to adverse health outcomes.
Research Area 2: Develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with functionalized catalysts to degrade selected contaminants. The proposed nanotechnology should capture and/or degrade contaminants through chemical reactions that render the pollutants harmless. Applications should demonstrate enhanced performance of the nanotechnology-enabled catalysis through improved efficiency (speed and completeness of the reaction) and sustainability (input and by-products of the reaction).
