The Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) is pleased to invite proposals from academic faculty for up to $35,000 in financial support for research to identify, evaluate, and/or develop safer alternatives to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (also known as PFAS), toxic chemicals used for a variety of manufacturing and product applications.

Proposals should be submitted no later than June 30, 2023 to identify, evaluate, and/or develop safer alternatives to the use of PFAS in manufacturing and product applications. Some examples include:

  • Water and stain-resistant coated fabrics, textiles, and footwear
  • Surfactant applications including fume suppressants
  • Refrigerants and coolants
  • Manufacturing processing aids
  • Coated food packaging
