EPSRC Data Management Plan Assessment Rubric v2.0

This rubric is intended to assist in the assessment of EPSRC data management plans, against the criteria required by the funder. It is not intended to be used as a template for researchers to follow when writing a data management plan. The rubric has been divided into 'performance criteria' (on the left hand side) which cover the information the funder expects to be covered by the data management plan. Each performance criteria is followed by three descriptions of how it might be addressed, each indicating a different level of response. The descriptions are intended as examples of how the performance criteria might be addressed and are not considered to be exhaustive. The rubric also lists the documents and resources on which it was based

Cleaning Chemicals from the Environment Utilizing Mycoremediation: The Capacity of Three Fungi Species to Intercept Perfluorooctanoic Acid

Anthropogenic contamination of water, soil, and air has been increasingly documented over the past few decades. One chemical of particular concern is Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), which is found in fluoropolymers present in non-stick pan coatings and stain resistant fabrics in clothing and rugs. It can also be generated from the degradation of larger perfluorinated compounds, such as Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). It is pervasive in the environment, and resists degradation which has led to its presence in low levels within human blood worldwide. Numerous human health risks have been noted from PFOA contamination and exposure, including hypertension, thyroid disorders, cancers, and more. Prior research has determined chemical means to break the larger PFAS precursor down to PFOA. However, to date no research has identified biological means for removal or degradation of PFOA from the environment. Fungi are well known for their capacity to intercept or even degrade toxic chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls, textile dyes, heavy metals, and crude oil. Given these qualities, we tested the ability of three species of fungi (Stropharia rugosoannulata, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Agaricus campestris) to intercept environmentally relevant concentrations of PFOA from contaminated solution over 24 hours. We found both S. rugosoannulata and P. ostreatus removed significantly higher amounts of PFOA (1ppm) from contaminated solution relative to controls over 24 hours. This research suggests a future possibility of utilizing fungi as a low-impact and cost-effective capturing system to mitigate widespread PFOA contamination.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2022/1103/thumbnail.jp
