HUD announces $143 Million in Grants

October 31, 2007

The Silver Lake Research Corporation will be awarded up to $471,116 under the Lead Technical Studies program to develop a rapid, on-site test kit for the accurate determination of lead-based paint (LBP) in accordance with the test kit criteria in the EPA's proposed lead renovation, repair, and painting rule. The proposed test kit will be based on the existing immunoassay strip test for lead in water (the Watersafe® Lead Test.) The test kit will be designed to complete independent validation in accordance with the proposed EPA rule, require minimal user training, not require any instrumentation, take 15 minutes, and cost the end-user less than $3 per test. Contact: Dr. Mark Geisberg, Director R&D, (626) 359-8441.
