The National Science Foundation awarded $150,850 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Colorado State University for a collaborative research project entitled "Understanding the Molecular Determinants of Mucus Penetrating Zwitterionic Bottlebrushes." The project period runs from August 15, 2021 through January 31, 2023. The funding will support research efforts to increase scientific understanding of major problems in the molecular and physical sciences through investigation of the properties and applications of zwitterionic bottlebrush polymers that can penetrate mucus. As the awardee, Colorado State University will oversee delivery of the research objectives through its Sponsored Programs division. Relevant context includes the grant program's goal of advancing knowledge in the mathematical and physical sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise.
