The Environmental Sustainability program is part of the Environmental Engineering and Sustainability cluster together with 1) the Environmental Engineering program and 2) the Nanoscale Interactions program. The goal of the Environmental Sustainability program is to promote sustainable engineered systems that...
Supports fundamental research on critical challenges and opportunities in catalysts and catalytic reactions for chemicals, energy and other applications.
Supports fundamental research focused on reducing pollution and its environmental and human impacts through closing resource loops; smart amendments; environmental manipulation; or remediation with engineered processes.
Supports fundamental research on the monitoring, identification and quantification of biological phenomena, with the potential to advance both engineering and the life sciences.
Supports principal investigators, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students in conducting research and collaborating with researchers at FDA on topics related to public health and emerging medical device technologies.
Supports research and retraining for scientists and engineers after a research hiatus. Supported work must fall within the scope of the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems or the Division of Chemistry.
Supports doctoral dissertation research on the nature, causes and consequences of the spatial dimensions of human activities and/or environmental processes across a range of scales.
Supports research on atmospheric gases and aerosols, including sources and sinks; transport and chemical reactions of atmospheric species; atmospheric photochemistry; heterogeneous reactions; and aqueous-phase chemistry and aerosol processes.
Supports theoretical and empirical research on the processes that force and regulate the atmosphere’s synoptic and planetary circulation, weather and climate.
Synopsis of Program: The OPUS program is targeted to individuals, typically at later-career stages, who have contributed significant insights to a field or body of research over time. The program provides an opportunity to revisit and synthesize that prior research...
Supports research for a period of 10 years or longer to generate an extended time series of data with a focus on evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science.
Supports efforts to integrate ocean research and education via two main program areas — Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites or Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) awards.
Supports research on circuit and system hardware and signal processing techniques in the following areas: radio-frequency circuits and antennas for communications and sensing; communication systems and signal processing; and dynamic bio-sensing systems.
Supports research on novel devices based on the principles of electronics, optics and photonics, optoelectronics, magnetics, opto- and electromechanics, electromagnetics and related physical phenomena.
Supports research on water beneath and on the Earth’s surface and relationships of water with material and living components of the environment, with a focus on hydrologic processes and fluxes of water.
Supports research on the mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere of the Earth, with a focus on momentum within and between these regions, ionization, recombination, chemical reaction, photoemission, and the transport of energy.
Supports research that uses existing data and samples and other research not requiring a presence in Antarctica to investigate the interactions between the Antarctic region and global systems or investigate Antarctic systems, biota and processes.
The Particulate and Multiphase Processes program is part of the Transport Phenomena cluster, which also includes 1) the Combustion and Fire Systems program; 2) the Fluid Dynamics program; and 3) the Thermal Transport Processes program. The goal of the Particulate...
The Electrochemical Systems program is part of the Chemical Process Systems cluster, which also includes: 1) the Catalysis program; 2) the Interfacial Engineering program; and 3) the Process Systems, Reaction Engineering, and Molecular Thermodynamics program. The goal of the Electrochemical...
Supports the continued operation of existing research infrastructure — primarily cyberinfrastructure or biological living stocks — that advances contemporary biological research.
Supports mid-career or later-stage researchers in molecular and cellular biology to expand or transition their research programs through sabbaticals or other forms of professional development.
Supports the operation of national user facilities that make specialized instrumentation available to the materials research community, support research, and conduct education and public outreach.
Supports use-inspired research that addresses communities' social, economic and environmental challenges. Projects must work with community stakeholders on pilots that integrate intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments.
Supports research in modeling, optimization, learning, adaptation and control of networked multi-agent systems; higher-level decision making; and dynamic resource allocation and risk management.
