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

PROGRAM GUIDELINES
Apply to PD 07-3906 as follows:
For full proposals submitted via FastLane:
standard Grant Proposal Guidelines apply.
For full proposals submitted via Grants.gov:
NSF Grants.gov Application Guide; A Guide for the Preparation and Submission of NSF Applications via Grants.gov Guidelines apply
(Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the NSF website at:
http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=grantsgovguide)
Please be advised that the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) includes
revised guidelines to implement the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act (ACA)
(Pub. L. No. 110-69, Aug. 9, 2007.) As specified in the ACA, each proposal that requests
funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include a description of the mentoring
activities that will be provided for such individuals. Proposals that do not comply
with this requirement will be returned without review (see the PAPP Guide Part I:
Grant Proposal Guide Chapter II for further information about the implementation of
this new requirement).
SYNOPSIS
Supports fundamental chemical research directed toward the characterization and analysis of all forms of matter. Studies of elemental and molecular composition and of the microstructure of both bulk and surface domains are included. The program supports projects that develop the fundamentals of measurement science, new sensors and new instruments, and innovative approaches to data processing and interpretation. Investigations designed to probe the chemical structure and reactivity of the interface between different forms of matter also are supported. The program is linked to several other chemistry research programs within NSF, including Solid State Chemistry (Materials Research Division, MPS Directorate); Biochemistry and Biophysics (Molecular and Cellular Biosciences Division, BIO Directorate); and Chemical Reaction Processes and Interfacial, Transport, and Separation Processes (Chemical and Transport Systems Division, ENG Directorate).
