This grant is for developing a method to improve the accuracy of sensors that detect contaminants in water, specifically focusing on substances like PFAS. The project aims to create a reliable way to measure these contaminants by addressing interference from other chemicals in the water. This research will help protect drinking water quality by identifying risks early.
Who it's for: This grant is open to any organization or individual interested in developing advanced scientific methods for environmental water testing. It's particularly suited for those with expertise in chemistry, environmental science, or sensor technology.
