- Under a $595,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, Professor Thomas Lectka of Johns Hopkins University will pursue two complementary strategies to selectively modify specific carbon-hydrogen or carbon-carbon bonds within complex molecular structures. The first approach will utilize hydrogen bonding to direct site-selective functionalization reactions, while the second will leverage metal ion binding to deactivate...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry awarded The Johns Hopkins University a three-year Project Grant totaling $575,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research into the generation and reactivity of biologically relevant reactive sulfur species, including hydroperoxides, and the development of novel photoprecursors and protein persulfidating reagents to produce these species. Professor John P. Toscano of Johns...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $590,557 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Professor Rashad Karimov of Auburn University. The grant supports research on new catalytic methods to synthesize complex, non-aromatic heterocyclic compounds, which are key structural motifs found in many medicines and natural products. The research aims to develop enantioselective tandem isomerization and functionalization strategies for late-stage...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Chemical Catalysis Program in the Division of Chemistry is providing $325,000 in funding to Professors Jason Bates of the University of Virginia and Brandon Bukowski of Johns Hopkins University to study approaches for improving the productivity and durability of molecular catalysts through supporting them on nanostructured solids. The goal is to enable more efficient, flexible, and sustainable pharmaceutical...
- This $431,454 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry was provided to The Johns Hopkins University and the University of Massachusetts, Lowell to study the design of catalytic materials for electrochemical synthesis of organonitrogen compounds. The overarching goal is to develop a fundamental understanding of electrochemical carbon-nitrogen coupling using metal-organic frameworks called boron imidazolate frameworks (BIFs) as the catalyst platform....
- This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports fundamental catalytic research conducted by Professors Erik Alexanian and Aleksandr Zhukhovitskiy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH). The $675,000 award, spanning September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to develop new photochemical carbonylation processes using earth-abundant cobalt catalysts. This research will...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $131,882 to support collaborative research on electrocatalytic synthesis of heterocycles from biomass-derived furanics via immobilized first-row transition metal catalysts. Professors Yujie Sun of Vanderbilt University and De-En Jiang of the University of California, Riverside will develop electrocatalysts using coordinatively unsaturated...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) awarded a $249,982 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for The State University of New York (RF SUNY) to support Professor Steven Diver's research on developing new bimacrocyclic catalysts for selective chemical reactions. The research aims to design hybrid catalyst molecules that combine the advantages of enzymes and small-molecule catalysts, enabling selective and sustainable chemical...
- This $575,000 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Emory University to develop practical methods for conducting synthetic organic transformations using low catalyst loadings. The goal is to create highly efficient catalysts, such as rhodium and ruthenium-based catalysts, that can be used in extremely low amounts to enable over 100,000 reaction cycles while...
Professor Steven Rokita of Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $510,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop new biocatalysts through cofactor engineering. The three-year award running from July 2022 to June 2025 will support research using organic synthesis to create novel cofactors that, paired with protein scaffolds, could enable applications in green chemistry and bioremediation. By modifying cofactors like flavin, the project aims to control enzyme specificity and expand catalytic functionality for processes like the full reduction of nitroaromatics to amines. Training graduate students in interdisciplinary chemistry and biochemistry is expected to contribute to the emerging field of biocatalytic process development. Johns Hopkins will serve as the sole sub-awardee, using the funding to advance research at its Baltimore location toward developing more effective industrial biocatalysts.
