The US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the UK Environmental Nanoscience Initiative (UKENI) offer this grant for joint US and UK research. This grant seeks to advance understanding of manufactured nanomaterials’ environmental behavior, bioavailability, and effects. It aims to develop and validate integrated models for nanomaterial fate using intrinsic properties and life cycle analysis. The program also focuses on creating effective methods and tools for detecting and monitoring nanomaterials in biological and environmental samples. Findings will further scientific understanding and inform risk management policy for nanomaterials.
