Program Supports Chemistry Research
Included among proposals considered by the Program are those (formerly submitted to the CRIF:ID program) for which the primary focus is on development of new instrumentation enabling chemical measurements likely to be of wide interest and utility to the chemistry research community. Such proposals should include the words "Instrument Development" at the beginning of the title, and include in the Project Description consideration of a development timeline, potential utility, and prospects for promulgation of the idea, should it prove viable; these tend to be of interest to reviewers of instrument development proposals. Proposals with large equipment requests (over $150,000) may be better suited to the Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program; investigators are urged to discuss such proposals with a program officer before submission. Proposals with anticipated utility primarily in other communities (e.g., biology) should be directed to programs in other Directorates or to MRI. Industrial partnerships (e.g., via "GOALI" - Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry) are encouraged as means of enhancing promulgation, but concepts nearing commercialization are better fits to SBIR or STTR Programs.
Proposals for optimizing and/or utilizing established methods for specific applications should be directed to programs focused on the application. There are closely-related programs in other Divisions; where to submit depends on the primary focus of the proposed research.
Full Proposal Window: July 1, 2011 - July 31, 2011
