"Developing and Demonstrating Nanosensor Technology to Detect, Monitor, and Degrade Pollutants" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
Developing and Demonstrating Nanosensor Technology to Detect, Monitor, and Degrade Pollutants is sponsored by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This funding opportunity from the EPA's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program seeks applications for research to develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology capable of detecting, monitoring, and degrading per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater or surface water used as drinking water sources.
The program aims to leverage advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology to address challenges in PFAS detection and treatment, promoting the development of more cost-effective, efficient, and selective environmental sensors.

Register for the Informational webinar here The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for research to develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with the potential to detect, monitor and degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater or surface water that may be used as drinking water sources.
PFAS are long-lasting chemicals that are widely used in an array of consumer, commercial, and industrial products. Due to widespread use and persistence in the environment, PFAS are commonly found in air, soil, and water. There is evidence that continued exposure to PFAS, even at low levels, can cause harmful health effects.
Advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology have the potential to address the challenges of detection and treatment of PFAS-contaminated waters. Nanomaterials are smaller in size, larger in surface area, and are more easily manipulated and dispersed in water than conventional materials, making them useful for environmental sensing and management.
Using nanotechnology may help to build better environmental sensors by reducing cost, improving efficiency and increasing selectivity. Nanotechnology may also be used to degrade PFAS in a way that does not create toxic by-products.
Applications must address both of the following research areas: Develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology to detect and monitor PFAS in drinking water sources Develop and demonstrate nanosensor technology with functionalized catalysts to degrade PFAS EPA is seeking projects with expected results that can be practically applied in real-world settings and potentially transform environmental monitoring and management.

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.
