This grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency supports research on novel treatment technologies for small public drinking water systems. The focus is on developing sustainable, robust solutions to address contaminants through innovative modifications or new technologies. The grant encourages proposals for technologies that can enhance existing treatment processes, target contaminant reduction in source waters, and improve distribution system practices. Applicants are encouraged to consider game-changing solutions and include input from Minority Academic Institutions. Deadline for submissions is August 25, 2011.

| Description:: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing to conduct research necessary to identify, develop and demonstrate novel and innovative treatment technologies and approaches for small public drinking water systems. Successful technologies should be robust, sustainable, and be able to treat or mitigate groups of contaminants or contaminant precursors in drinking water sources and systems. EPA is seeking new, or innovative, modifications of existing treatment technologies that can perform significantly better than current technologies. These technologies may include those which are used to retrofit or augment existing treatment trains; treatment practices or technologies aimed at contaminant or contaminant precursor reduction in source waters; and technologies used within the distribution system including point-of-use (POU) devices. Identifying technologies that have the potential to be �game-changing� may involve considering national and international sources as well as considering input from those who have not traditionally participated in environmental conversations, including Minority Academic Institutions (MAIs) as defined in Section I.A. |
