This grant is for the purpose of funding research focused on the advanced metagenomic and bioinformatics analysis of environmental and experimental samples. Offered by the U.S. Geological Survey’s MD-DE-DC Water Science Center to a CESU partner, the project specifically targets contamination by halogenated compounds, including chlorinated solvents, PCBs, and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). A key objective is to foster collaboration in utilizing microbial data and processes. This collaborative effort will critically evaluate the potential fate and mitigation strategies for these halogenated contaminants, with a particular emphasis on their management within stormwater infrastructure. The initiative aims to enhance environmental pollution understanding.
