Description
The Engineering Environmental Resiliency (EER) program supports fundamental research to advance resource and energy conservation and recovery, and to safeguard the natural environment and human health. It focuses on advancing technologies in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum science and engineering, nanoengineering, and microelectronics to enhance U.S. manufacturing and energy systems resilience. The program supports research on sustainable manufacturing, waste minimization, recycling, and management of critical minerals, as well as studies on environmental chemistry and pollutant reactivity. EER encourages proposals that develop innovative technologies for environmental protection and health safeguarding through detection and response to pathogens and toxins.
