New Projects Funded on PFAS, Lead Service Lines, HABs, and More
Through the Tailored Collaboration (TC) Program, WRF partners directly with our utility subscribers on research and innovation projects. Under this program, a subscriber or group of subscribers can obtain matching funds, up to $100,000, for a research idea that they have developed. These ideas may be more specialized or regional in nature than those funded through our other research programs, but still have the potential for broader applicability.
We are excited to announce that five TC projects have been chosen for 2021, to be carried out on a range of topics:
