Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "White paper and research on contaminants of emerging concentrate in concentrate stream" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AP00153), was published by the Bureau of Reclamation as a discretionary grant under the Natural Resources funding activity category. The notice was posted on August 11, 2014, with an original and final closing date of August 25, 2014, and it was archived on August 26, 2014. The total estimated funding for the award was $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $1, and the opportunity did not require any cost sharing or matching funds.
The announcement was not competitive. Instead, it functioned as a formal notice of intent to award funding specifically to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (spelled "Pomoma" in parts of the listing). In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the recipient institution and was using the posting to document the planned award rather than to solicit applications from a broad pool of applicants.
The project focus, as reflected in the title, centered on producing a white paper and conducting research related to contaminants of emerging concern in concentrate streams. Concentrate streams generally refer to the residual brine or concentrated waste flow produced by water treatment processes such as desalination, membrane filtration, or advanced purification systems. Contaminants of emerging concern typically include newer or increasingly detected chemicals that may not be fully regulated yet, such as certain pharmaceuticals, personal care product ingredients, industrial compounds, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and other trace organics. A project framed around these topics would usually aim to summarize existing knowledge, identify key contaminants present in concentrate, discuss detection and monitoring methods, assess potential environmental or water management implications, and highlight research gaps or recommendations relevant to water reuse, treatment, and disposal decisions.
The opportunity was associated with CFDA 15.560, the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements program, which aligns with research activities that support water reliability, water resources management, and scientific understanding of water-related challenges. The only eligible applicant category listed was public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the selected recipient being a public university.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Michelle Maher, Grants Officer, at 303-445-2025.
