## What the grant funds

The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in conducting research on Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The overall goal is to determine the molecular mechanisms that drive the accumulation of PFAS in fish. This is a major concern for fisheries across the United States that are affected by PFAS in surface waters. This research aligns with administrative priorities to make our Nation's resources, such as sport fisheries, safer and better.
