Division of Chemistry: Disciplinary Research Programs: No Deadline Pilot
Grant Opportunity Analysis
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Division of Chemistry: Disciplinary Research Programs: No Deadline Pilot," aimed at enhancing flexibility in proposal submissions for chemistry research. This initiative allows principal investigators (PIs) to submit proposals at any time, specifically targeting the Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP), Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD), and Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods (CTMC) programs, with the goal of facilitating interdisciplinary research and assessing the implications of removing submission deadlines. The total estimated funding for this program is $45 million, and eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, research laboratories, and accredited institutions of higher education in the U.S. Proposals can be submitted without a deadline, and interested parties can reach out to NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov for assistance.
Eligible Applicants
*Who May Submit Proposals: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: -Non-profit, non-academic organizations: Independent museums, observatories, research laboratories, professional societies and similar organizations located in the U.S. that are directly associated with educational or research activities. -Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) - Two- and four-year IHEs (including community colleges) accredited in, and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members.Special Instructions for International Branch Campuses of US IHEs: If the proposal includes funding to be provided to an international branch campus of a US institution of higher education (including through use of subawards and consultant arrangements), the proposer must explain the benefit(s) to the project of performance at the international branch campus, and justify why the project activities cannot be performed at the US campus.
