Funding Search

Supports research focusing on chemically-relevant measurement science and chemical imaging.

Supports experimental research on the development of new and efficient synthesis methodologies and on the synthesis of complex and/or challenging chemical structures.

Supports summer research internships for doctoral students in the mathematical sciences. Internships are primarily at national laboratories and focus on introducing students to applications of mathematical or statistical theories outside of academia.

Supports research on the geology and geophysics of the present ocean basins and margins, as well as of the Great Lakes.

Supports research and education in the development of advanced materials to enable transformative advances in electronics, optoelectronics and photonics for use in computing, communications and sensing.

Supports research and education on organic, inorganic and hybrid materials, with an emphasis on materials synthesis and the relationships between material structure and properties.

Supports research and education on the relationships between structure and properties of metals and their alloys.

Supports research and education in the investigation of the fundamental physics underlying condensed matter systems.

Supports research and education on polymeric materials and polymer science.

Supports research and education on biological, biomimetic, bioinspired and bioenabled materials, and on synthetic materials intended for applications where they will be in contact with biological systems.

Supports the establishment of collaborative research centers focused on mathematical sciences at the interface of molecular, cellular and organismal biology. Each center will support education and training, visitor programs, workshops and outreach.

Supports instrumentation development at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, including instrument science, detector characterization, and the development of technologies for future generations of gravitational-wave detectors.

Supports research in theoretical cosmology, including standard Big-Bang cosmology and alternative cosmologies motivated by new ideas in particle physics. Also supports theoretical particle astrophysics, which tests ideas for physics beyond the Standard Model.
