Chemistry (CHE)

Chemistry Division Submission Window Change

In order to ensure the timely handling of proposals and fairness in comparing competing requests for funding, the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) Division of Chemistry (CHE) has changed its proposal submission window for unsolicited proposals from the current (second Monday in July until the second Friday in January) to two shorter windows; one between July 1 and July 31 and another between November 1 and November 30.  The window changes are effective immediately.

This action follows a recommendation from the 2004 Committee of Visitors Report, CHE COV Report 2004, and consultation throughout the NSF and the community.  The new windows will provide increased opportunities of co-review and co-funding of awards with other divisions within the NSF.  Principal Investigators (PIs) may submit their proposal in either window.  However, PIs should consider submitting their proposal in July if the proposal is bio-oriented or in November if it is materials research-oriented in order to enhance co-funding opportunities.

Call for Highlights

The NSF Division of Chemistry's highest priority is to provide support for research and education activities in the chemical sciences.  To help us communicate the excitement, importance, and value of achievements derived from your NSF-supported project, we would like to request from you a "highlight."

For information regarding how your highlights are used by NSF and why it is important for you to provide highlights, please refer to the Dear Colleague Letter - Call for Highlights, available at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2008/nsf08026/nsf08026.jsp.

For information regarding how to write and format highlights, please refer to the Best Practices for Writing and Formatting Highlights document, available at http://www.nsf.gov/mps/che/nuggets/highlight-writing.pdf.

Plan for Broadening Participation

The Division of Chemistry Plan for Broadening Participation in Chemistry is available at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2007/nsf07021/nsf07021.pdf.
