EPA Awards $100K Research Grant to University of Missouri Team to Develop
Environmental Technology
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7 – 11201 Renner Blvd., Lenexa,
KS 66219
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Nine Tribal Nations
LENEXA, KAN. (OCT. 2, 2024) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
announced a total of $498,801 in research funding to five college teams to
further develop their innovative technologies to help address urgent
environmental and public health challenges.
Winning projects address high-priority issues, such as developing per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-free alternatives and ensuring cleaner water
by reducing lead, microplastics, and nutrient runoff.
This announcement includes $100,000 to University of Missouri students to
tackle PFAS contamination. Led by researchers Maria Fidalgo and Chung-Ho Lin,
the project – which was awarded a $25,000 EPA grant in 2022 – aims to
develop a stand-alone, low-cost drinking water treatment system that removes
PFAS.
“Congratulations to the University of Missouri team for winning this award
to continue tackling the critical environmental issue of PFAS contamination in
drinking water,” said EPA Region 7 Administrator Meg McCollister. “The
research happening right here in our region has the potential to improve
drinking water quality for affected individuals across the country, and
we’re cheering on this important work.”
The awards are part of EPA’s People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3)
program. The student teams are receiving Phase II awards as part of the 18th
annual P3 competition. Awardees previously received a one-year grant of up to
$25,000 for Phase I to develop their ideas. The teams highlighted today
successfully competed for a Phase II grant of up to $100,000 to implement
their designs in a real-world setting.
