The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is offering this grant to identify, develop, and demonstrate innovative drinking water treatment technologies for small public systems. This grant is for the purpose of fostering robust, sustainable solutions capable of mitigating various contaminants or precursors in water sources and distribution systems. The EPA seeks novel or significantly improved existing technologies, including those for retrofitting, source water treatment, and point-of-use devices. The initiative aims to discover “game-changing” technologies, encouraging diverse applicants, including Minority Academic Institutions, to propose groundbreaking approaches that enhance drinking water quality and safety for small communities.

| 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. |
