Opportunity Title:
National Priorities: Occurrence and Implications of De Facto Water Reuse on Drinking Water Supplies
Funder/Agency:
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Opportunity Number:
EPA-G2024-ORD-E1
Description:
The Environmental Protection Agency is soliciting research to address the knowledge gaps associated with the extent and variability of water quality impacted by wastewater effluent, the potential associations between levels of de facto reuse and human health risk, and the interventions needed to mitigate the impacts of de facto reuse.
The Office of Research and Development’s (ORD) Consolidated Research/Training/Fellowships program supports research and development to:
Determine the environmental effects of air quality, drinking water, water quality, hazardous waste, toxic substances, and pesticides;
Identify, develop, and demonstrate effective pollution control techniques;
Perform risk assessments to characterize the potential adverse health effects of human exposures to environmental hazards; and
Facilitate training and program participant support in these areas.
Awards made under this program further EPA’s priorities supporting robust science for air quality, safe and sustainable water resources, sustainable and healthy communities, chemical safety, and human health risk assessment. The national priorities competition under this program supports high-priority water quality and availability research.
There are three research areas covered by this solicitation. At a minimum, applicants should address at least one research area. Applications that are not national in scope may not be rated as highly as those that are national in scope.
Research Area 1: Develop a holistic understanding of the national impact of de facto reuse
Research Area 2: Evaluate the potential human health risk associated with de facto reuse
Research Area 3: Explore interventions to mitigate risk from de facto reuse impacted drinking water
