NSF invests $9.8M to advance equitable water solutions

NSF invests $9.8M to advance equitable water solutions
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The U.S. National Science Foundation is advancing equitable water solutions, investing $9.8 million in 15 multidisciplinary teams selected for Phase 1 of the NSF Convergence Accelerator program’s Track K: Equitable Water Solutions.

Track K builds upon NSF’s investment in foundational research and two NSF-funded workshops from the NSF Convergence Accelerator’s ideation process, “Managing Water for a Changing Planet,” and ”Climate Resilience and Water Resources.” Workshop findings identified an urgent need to combine existing knowledge with advancements in areas such as the environmental sciences, geosciences, computing, engineering, and social and behavioral sciences to create new technologies and solutions to challenges such as freshwater supply and management; hydrologic systems and infrastructure; and resiliency against rising temperatures, drought and pollution.

In 2022, 2.2 billion people lacked safely managed drinking water; 3.5 billion people lacked safely-managed sanitation; and 2 billion people lacked a basic handwashing facility, according to the National Institutes of Health. It is estimated that billions of people will lack access to these basic services by 2030, unless viable and proactive solutions are developed.

“Ensuring safe and equitable water resources while incorporating environmentally sustainable practices is imperative to our future,” said Erwin Gianchandani, NSF assistant director for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP). “Through programs like the Convergence Accelerator, NSF is harnessing the nation’s diverse talent to stimulate innovation, technologies and solutions to address fit-for-purpose needs across the nation.”

Over the next nine months, each team will develop their initial idea into a proof of concept, identify new team members and partners, and participate in the NSF Convergence Accelerator’s Phase 1 innovation curriculum, providing fundamentals in human-centered design; team science; use-inspired research; early-stage prototyping; and communications, storytelling and pitching. At the end of Phase 1, the teams will participate in a formal proposal and pitch to demonstrate the feasibility of their solutions and apply for Phase 2.

“Because water needs are complex, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution,” said Douglas Maughan, head of the NSF Convergence Accelerator program.” This topic is perfect for convergence — bringing multiple disciplines, expertises and sectors together — to solve large-scale challenges. We’re excited to launch this track and to see how the 15 teams will engage and partner with communities, end-users and stakeholders to develop real-world sustainable solutions.”

The awardees include:

Advancing Equitable and Circular Water Solutions Through Source Separation, led by the Regents of the University of Michigan.AI Copilot for Rural Water Quality, led by Delta Bravo Artificial Intelligence, Inc.COMPASS: Comprehensive Prediction, Assessment, and Equitable Solutions for Storm-Induced Contamination of Freshwater Systems, led by the University of South Carolina.Equity in Water Information for Community Capacity Building, led by Boise State University.Electrokinetic Water Purification System for Point-of-Use Applications, led by Iowa State University.Improving Water Quality and Equity through Sensor Data and Machine Learning Models, led by the University of Kansas Center for Research.Living Matter, Artificial Intelligence, and Water Nascency (LAWN) for Regenerative Environments and Equity, led by the University of California, Berkeley.Mapping the Nation’s Wetlands for Equitable Water Quality, Monitoring, Conservation, and Policy Development, led by University of Washington.Measuring and Mitigating Land Management Impacts on In-Stream Water Quality with Sensor-Informed Data Fusion and Community-Led, Climate Financed Riparian Restoration, led by SweetSense, Inc.Passive Samplers for Equitable Monitoring of Drinking Water Quality, led by led by University of Washington.Prototyping Decision Support and Monitoring Tools for Equitable Management of Salt Contamination of Water Supplies in Tidal Rivers, led by the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Sciences.Remote Sensing Tools for Catalyzing Equitable Water Outcomes, led by the University of Pittsburgh.Towards Resilient, Equitable, Safe and Sustainable Water for Islands (RESSI-H2O), led by the University of South Florida.Unraveling the Benefits, Costs, and Equity of Tree Coverage in Desert Cities, led by the University of Texas, El Paso.Water for Small And Very Small Systems (WaterSAVerS) – A Convergence Framework for Expediting Equitable Water Systems Deployment, led by Cornell University.

About the NSF Convergence Accelerator

Launched in 2019, the NSF Convergence Accelerator—a TIP program—builds upon NSF’s investment in basic research and discovery to accelerate solutions toward societal and economic impact. The program’s multidisciplinary teams use convergence research fundamentals and innovation processes to stimulate innovative idea sharing and development of sustainable solutions. For more information about the program, visit new.nsf.gov/funding/initiatives/convergence-accelerator.

About TIP

TIP harnesses the nation’s vast and diverse talent pool to accelerate critical and emerging technologies and address pressing societal and economic challenges. The directorate comprises three primary focus areas: fostering innovation and technology ecosystems; establishing translation pathways; and partnering across sectors to improve U.S. competitiveness, grow the U.S. economy and engage and train a diverse workforce for future, high-wage jobs.
