H. is one of ten recipients of the Collaborative Science and Technology Network for Sustainability (CNS) research grant nationwide. Researchers at Dartmouth will examine biological data, social indicators, and mercury management policies with the $300,000 grant to determine how stakeholders could be motivated to promote ecological, economic, and social sustainability.
"By employing a combination of economic and social scientific theory, environmental modeling, and behavioral science experiments, we are working to formulate biological and social indicators of mercury pollution that are meaningful to the communities of New England.
The idea is that such indicators will motivate individual and organizational stakeholders to act in ways that promote sustainability,” said Mark Borsuk, principal investigator of the project. “A particular focus is on traditionally under-represented or at-risk segments of the population, including rural Native-American and urban African-American communities, who may have unique livelihoods, cultural traditions, and exposure situations.
Our results should lead to reporting and regulatory frameworks that ensure environmental protection while exploiting economic efficiencies and addressing social justice concerns." The CNS grants support the application of science and engineering to decision-making in pursuit of sustainability.
Sustainability is the ability to achieve continuing economic prosperity while protecting the natural systems of the planet and providing a high quality of life for all people. EPA relies on quality science as the basis for sound policy and decision-making.
EPA’s laboratories and research centers, and EPA's research grantees, are building the scientific foundation needed to support the Agency’s mission to safeguard human health and the environment. The Agency gave out a total of about $3 million in grant awards to help cities, states, and regions move towards a sustainable future. More information on these grants: https://www.

On June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
Read articleFor FY2026 and FY2027, EPA is waiving the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the ~$156,000 credit-processing fee for water systems serving 25,000 or fewer people — a near-$200,000 discount on access to an $11 billion pool of low-cost federal financing. The waiver removes the single barrier that kept small and rural utilities out of WIFIA for a decade. Here is how WIFIA actually works, who qualifies, why the letter of interest is the real gate, and how a town of 8,000 should think about a program built for billion-dollar projects.

Here is why WIFIA has been underused by small systems, how the loan actually works, and how a rural utility should build a WIFIA strategy in 2026.
