The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) STAR program is offering this grant to fund innovative early career research focused on enhancing public health protection via advancements in water infrastructure. This opportunity seeks applications that link improved water system function and condition to better public health outcomes. The scope of water infrastructure includes centralized and decentralized systems for potable and non-potable water, wastewater, stormwater, and rainwater management. Projects should demonstrate integrated, multi-disciplinary approaches that lead to improvements in the design, operation, and management of these systems. Ultimately, the research must directly connect these advancements to safeguarding public health, while also considering water efficiency and reduced energy requirements. The collection of geospatial information may be part of these awards.

| Description: | These awards may involve the collection of “Geospatial Information.” The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking new and innovative research applications that link opportunities to advance public health protection with improvements in the condition and function of the water infrastructure. For purposes of this RFA, the water infrastructure includes centralized and decentralized systems that convey, store, and distribute potable and non-potable water and collect and manage municipal and industrial wastewater, stormwater, and on-site rainwater. Innovation can take the form of wholly new applications or applications that build on existing knowledge and approaches for new uses. The focus of the solicitation is on improving the effectiveness of the water infrastructure for protecting public health. Projects should clearly demonstrate an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach that leads to advances in design, operation, and management of the water infrastructure and should directly tie those advances to public health protection in conjunction with improving water efficiency and reducing energy requirements. |
