Collaborative Research in Chemistry  (CRC)

Collaborative Research in CHE, FY09 & beyond

Dear Colleague,

The Collaborative Research in Chemistry (CRC) Program was created in 2001 to support collaborative research at the forefront of chemistry. At this time, the Division of Chemistry has decided to move collaborative research proposals back into the disciplinary "core" of chemistry and review these proposals in the context of other proposals (individual and collaborative) submitted to a disciplinary program.

Collaborative proposals may be submitted to any of the Chemistry Disciplinary Research Programs (Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry; Inorganic, Bioinorganic and Organometallic Chemistry; Analytical and Surface Chemistry; Physical Chemistry) during the usual Chemistry proposal submission windows. These proposals may be co-reviewed by several Chemistry programs or by Chemistry in partnership with other NSF divisions.

Principal Investigators considering submitting a collaborative proposal are strongly urged to contact a cognizant program officer. Contact information is available at the NSF Division of Chemistry website.

Luis Echegoyen
Director, Division of Chemistry

SYNOPSIS

The CRC Program is designed to promote collaborative research in a coherent, defined project at the forefront of the chemical sciences. CRC proposals will involve three or more investigators with complementary expertise. Co-investigators may include researchers with backgrounds in diverse areas of chemistry and other science and engineering disciplines appropriate to the proposed research. The use of cyber-infrastructure to enable and enhance collaborations is encouraged. Projects should be scientifically focused in areas supported by the NSF Division of Chemistry, limited in duration, and substantial in their scope and impact.

The CRC Program will use preliminary proposals to identify promising projects. Full CRC proposals will be considered by invitation only, based on peer review of preliminary proposals.
