Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Additional Information on Eligibility: *Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: -Universities and Colleges - Universities and four-year colleges accredited in and having a campus located in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. *PI Limit:Proposals must include three or more co-Principal Investigators (co-PIs), of whomone must be a researcher in chemistry, a second in materials, and a third in mathematical sciences, in areas supported by the NSF Divisions of Chemistry, Materials Research, and Mathematical Sciences, respectively. Any potential fourth or fifth co-Principal Investigator can be a researcher in any relevant area of science, including specifically those supported by the NSF Divisions of Engineering.
Grant Description: The purpose of the CHE-DMR-DMS Solar Energy Initiative is to support interdisciplinary efforts by groups of researchers to address the scientific challenges of highly efficient harvesting, conversion, and storage of solar energy. Groups must include three or more co-Principal Investigators, of whom one must be a researcher in chemistry, a second in materials, and a third in mathematical sciences, in areas supported by the Divisions of Chemistry, Materials Research, and Mathematical Sciences, respectively. The intent is to encourage new collaborations in which the mathematical sciences are linked in a synergistic way with the chemical and materials sciences to develop novel, potentially transformative approaches in an area of much activity but largely incremental advances. Successful proposals will offer potentially transformative projects, new concepts, and interdisciplinary education through research involvement based on the integrated expertise and synergy from the three disciplinary communities.
