NSF Funding Opportunity - Environmental Technology

The Environmental Technology Program provides support to develop and test new technologies across the range of sub-areas and activities in the field of environmental engineering. These include new devices and systems for more effective pollutant removal from air and water, as well as new technologies that minimize or avoid the pollutant generation inherent in older commercial and domestic processes and activities. The program also supports research on the development and refinement of sensors and sensor network technologies that can be used to measure a wide variety of physical, chemical, and biological properties of interest in characterizing environmental systems. The program emphasizes engineering principles underlying pollution avoidance as well as pollution treatment and remediation. Innovative production processes, waste reduction, recycling, and industrial ecology technologies are important to this program. The program supports research on innovative techniques to restore polluted land, water, and air resources. Read more
