In June 2008, the AwwaRF Board of Trustees met and approved funding for six projects in the Unsolicited Program.
The Unsolicited Program focuses on fundamental research that has the potential to lead to practical applications for utilities. This program relies on ideas that are developed externally and submitted to AwwaRF in the form of research proposals for funding consideration.
The six newly funded projects are:
2008 UNSOLICITED

- Advanced Oxidation of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products: Preparing for Indirect and Direct Water Reuse (Des Lawler, University of Texas) - Project #4213
