The Chemical Synthesis program was establish new, efficient synthetic methodologies to synthesize complex and challenging molecules. Typical targets include:
- Novel structures
- Structures displaying unique properties
- Structures providing pathways to discoveries and new phenomena
Eligible research projects include:
- Development of innovated reagents
- Catalysts for synthetic transformations
- Discovery of new synthetic methods
- Target-oriented synthesis
- Green synthesis
- Synthesis of structures that are:
– Novel organic
– Organometallic
– Inorganic
The research objective to study target systems properties are not supported by this grant program.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awards approximately 11,000 grants every year typically range between $100,000 and $500,000. All applications must be submitted electronically through the Grants.gov website during target dates and before the deadline and the title should specify ‘CDS&E’ to distinguish it from regular CTMC proposals. To successfully submit on the website, applicants must also have a DUNS number, an identification number from the NSF, and SAM registration. Eligible participants include:
- Universities & Colleges
- Nonprofit organizations
- For-profit organizations
- State & Local Governments
- Unaffiliated Individuals
- Foreign organizations
- Other Federal Agencies
Eligible applicants typically will submit a letter of intent expressing interest in the program and intention to apply; absence of a letter of intent will result in a rejection of a full proposal. After submitting a letter of intent eligible applicants will be invited to submit a preliminary proposal or full proposal depending on the history of the applicant and the information received from the letter of intent. A full proposal includes:
- General Information
