Office of Science Financial Assistance Program Notice 03-16: Catalysis Science

The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving grant applications for high-risk, long-term, multi-investigator, multidisciplinary research on the science of catalysis. See Supplementary Information below for specific guidelines. The goal of the Catalysis Science research effort is to develop combined experimental and theoretical approaches to enable molecular- level understanding of catalytic reaction mechanisms, ultimately enabling the prediction of catalytic reactivity at multiple time and length scales. Strongly encouraged are: (a) Applications containing synergistic integration of physical, chemical, and/or biochemical experimentation with solid state and molecular reactivity theories; (b) applications that integrate atomistic design of catalytically active sites; molecular, supramolecular or solid-state synthesis; and in-situ, time- and space-resolved, spectroscopy and microscopy; (c) applications to identify mechanisms and principles common to homogeneous, heterogeneous, and bio catalysis for the purpose of advancing the understanding of catalysis and developing novel chemica
