Project Grant 2117040

The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded a $354,871 Project Grant to the Long Beach Research Foundation at California State University, Long Beach to acquire a single crystal x-ray diffractometer from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. This award supports the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Funds will allow the Foundation to obtain an x-ray diffractometer, which uses x-ray crystallography techniques to determine the three-dimensional crystal structure of molecules, helping advance research in chemistry and materials science. The equipment will be located at the Foundation's facility in Long Beach, California.
