Dear Colleague Letter - Collaborative Research in Chemistry, FY2009
and 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
