Opportunity Information: Apply for PD 15 1401

The Catalysis and Biocatalysis program aims to enhance research in catalytic engineering and foster the development of beneficial catalytic materials and reactions. The focus is on advancing the fundamental understanding of catalytic processes through various approaches, both theoretical and experimental. Important applications include renewable energy, environmental catalysis, and converting greenhouse gases into useful products.

Key areas of interest include:

- Renewable energy catalysis, including biocatalysis and biomass refining. - Carbon cycle closure, especially CO2 and methane conversion. - Innovative catalytic processes and new catalyst designs. - Environmental catalytic methods that promote energy efficiency. - Methods for synthesizing catalysts at a commercial scale. - New materials that replace expensive precious metals. - Understanding catalytic materials and their reaction mechanisms. - Development of durable, poison-resistant catalysts. - Enhanced tools for catalyst analysis and theoretical studies.

Proposals that are interdisciplinary may receive joint funding from other programs. Specific submission guidelines are noted for various focuses, such as sustainable engineering or energy systems. The program generally funds projects for one to three years, with an average award size of around $100,000 per year, potentially higher for collaborative efforts. It’s crucial that proposals address their novelty and potential impact in engineering and society.

There’s a strong encouragement for CAREER program proposals, which last five years. Directors advise discussing proposal ideas prior to submission, particularly for innovative or complex topics. Compliance with proposal guidelines is mandatory, as non-compliant proposals will not be reviewed. Submissions outside of the designated proposal window will also be returned without review.
