Basic Research for Chemical Imaging: The Division of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in keeping with its mission to assist in strengthening the Nation apos;s scientific research enterprise through the support of basic science, announces its interest in receiving grant applications for projects on basic research needed to advance chemical imaging. We are interested in forefront advances of imaging techniques with spatial resolution on the molecular scale relevant to the basic science of chemical and physical transformations. Of particular interest are applications that combine molecular-scale spatial resolution and ultrafast temporal resolution to explore energy flow, molecular dynamics, breakage or formation of chemical bonds, or conformational changes in nanoscale systems. Proposed research must advance the scientific objectives within one of the nine core research areas in the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences; Chemical Physics; Photochemistry and Radiation Research; Catalysis and Chemical Transformations; Separations and Analysis; Heavy Element Chemistry; Chemical Energy and Chemical Engineering; Geosciences Research; and Energy Biosciences Research. More detailed descriptions of these core research areas can be found at http://www.science.doe.gov/bes/brochures/CRA.html. The following areas of research are specifically excluded from consideration: biomedical imaging, crystallography, imaging of structures significantly larger than the molecular scale, combustion diagnostics, and sensor technology. Also excluded from consideration are applications directed solely at the development of techniques or instrumentation, without specific and clear applications to basic research in one of the core research areas of the Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division.
