Developing and Demonstrating Nanosensor Technology to Detect, Monitor, and Degrade Pollutants Grant | US EPA Developing and Demonstrating Nanosensor Technology to Detect, Monitor, and Degrade Pollutants Grant EPA awarded over $1.
3 million in funding to a team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison to develop nanosensor technology to detect, monitor and degrade commonly used pesticides, found in water, that can harm human health. Environmental pollutants such as pesticides adversely affect human health, even at low concentrations.
Reliable and simple sensors are essential to empower communities, state and local governments, tribes, and others to collect data on their environment. Nanotechnology can fulfill this need as well as assist in the degradation of these pesticides. Nanosensors (made with materials between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers) can detect a wide variety of pesticides at low concentrations while also being cost-effective and portable.
Nanomaterials can also improve the efficiency of capturing and degrading pesticides in air, water and soil compared to traditional methods. The goals of this research grant is to develop reliable and easy to operate nanosensor technology that can monitor and detect pesticides linked to adverse health outcomes in real time.
This research integrates nanosensors with a nanotechnology-based treatment process to render pesticides harmless through removal or degradation. Results are expected to be applied in a real-world setting and have the potential to transform environmental monitoring and management.
The following applicant is receiving an award: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin Project Title: Integrated Portable Raman and Electrochemical NanoSystem (I-PRENS) for Neonicotinoid Detection and Remediation in Rural Drinking Water Supplies Principal Investigator: Haoran Wei Project Summary: This project aims to develop an Integrated Portable Raman and Electrochemical NanoSystem (I-PRENS) to detect and degrade neonicotinoid pesticides in drinking water supplies in rural Alabama.
Neonicotinoids are commonly used pesticides similar to nicotine, but they have devastating impacts on pollinators and other beneficial organisms. The I-PRENS will allow for the first chemical supply-free, sensor-controlled water treatment system that can be distributed and deployed anywhere. The team will develop modules for high-resolution and rapid sensing, pre-treatment, and treatment of neonicotinoid pesticides.
The team will also develop a small-scale I-PRENS prototype for deployment in Alabama’s Black Belt region for long-term monitoring and remediation of neonicotinoid-impacted drinking water supplies.

Brownfields Job Training Grants is sponsored by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA's Brownfields Job Training Program provides grants to eligible organizations, including nonprofits, to develop local workforces for the assessment, cleanup, or preparation of contaminated sites (brownfields) for reuse. The grants fund training programs that equip unemployed and underemployed residents with skills for full-time, sustainable employment in the environmental field, including sustainable remediation and chemical safety.
FY27 Brownfields Job Training (JT) Grants is sponsored by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This program provides grants to recruit and train unemployed and underemployed individuals with the skills needed to secure long-term employment in the environmental field, specifically related to the assessment, cleanup, or preparation of contaminated sites (brownfields) for re…
EPA's Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development competition closes October 5, 2026. The agency says up to 15 awards across four project areas, but Project Area 1 alone carries a $7.8 million ceiling against a $10.8 million pot. That tension is the single most important strategic fact in the NOFO — here is how to read it, which lane is least competed, and what a three-week runway means for your submission.
Read articleEPA announced $3.5 million in competitive Clean Water Act Section 319 funding for Tribes on September 10, 2026, with a $175,000 per-applicant cap and roughly 20 awards. Applications close November 9, 2026. But eligibility was frozen as of October 10, 2025, and every application must contain an on-the-ground BMP project traceable to an approved management program. Here is how the gates actually work.
Read articleThe FY2026 Innovative Water Infrastructure Workforce Development Grant (EPA-OW-OWM-26-03) closes October 5, 2026 with $10.8 million, up to 15 cooperative agreements, and a Project Area 1 ceiling of $7.8 million. One maximum award would consume 72 percent of the pool. Here is how the four project areas actually partition the money, why the grants.gov award floor field is wrong, and why September 14 is the date that matters more than October 5.
