These projects, which pre-dated the NCGA PFAS study discussed herein, currently are underway to focus on: 1) performance testing of technologies for removal of chemicals, including PFAS, from private wells ($300,000), 2) development of a paper-based assa Collaboratory-PFAS-NCGA-Progress-Report-1Oct2018-FINALy to identify GenX in water ($50,000), and 3) strategic planning and collaboration of researchers across the state regarding emerging contaminants inCollaboratory-PFAS-NCGA-Progress-Report-1Oct2018-FINAL

The goals of this third effort is to develop a detailed list of what faculty members are involved in research; whatNORTH CAROLINA PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCESTESTING (PFAST) NETWORKProgress Report #1 submitted to the North Carolina General Assembly Environme Collaboratory-PFAS-NCGA-Progress-Report-1Oct2018-FINALch publications; and what grants have been awarded (and what may be awarded in the future) that could be eligible for matching funds from the Col laboratory's NCGA Challenge Grant program. This third strategic planning effort is being led by Dr. Jacqueline MacDonald Gibson (UNCCH) and includes Co-Pr Collaboratory-PFAS-NCGA-Progress-Report-1Oct2018-FINALincipal Investigators from UNCW (Dr. Ralph Mead), UNCC (Dr. Mei Sun), NCSU (Dr. Detlef Knappe), ECU (Dr. Jamie DeWitt), and Duke University (Dr. Lee FCollaboratory-PFAS-NCGA-Progress-Report-1Oct2018-FINAL
