The Center for Environmental Biotechnology maintains abroad portfolio of research funding from both government and private institutions. The diverse portfolio reflects two of the most important characteristics of the center: it carries out research that ranges from fundamental to applied, and it partners with those who can implement the fruits of the center’s research. Currently, the Center for Environmental Biotechnology has research support from the following government and private sources:

Government

• Department of Defense (via sub-contract from CDM, Inc.)
• Department of Energy (DoE)
• National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
• National Institutes for Health (via sub-contract from Compact Membrane Systems)
• National Science Foundation (NSF)
• Pasadena, California (via sub-contract from Water Quality and Technology Solutions, Inc.)

Private

• American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AwwaRF) (via sub-contract from Montgomery-Watson-Harza)
• Applied Process Technology, Inc.
• Kurita Water Industries, Inc.
• Methuselah Foundation
• NZ Legacy
• OpenCEL, LLC

The Center is working with Applied Process Technology, Inc., and environmental-technology company to commercialize the MBfR. Pilot-scale beta-site testing is not being initiated at several sites across the U. S. The MBfR is aimed at removing perchlorate and a host of other hazardous contaminations from drinking water, ground water and wastewater.
