This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry provides funding of $199,472 for a planning effort between Howard University, the University of the District of Columbia, and NSF's ChemMatCARS facility at Argonne National Laboratory. The goal is to develop a partnership that could form the basis of a future submission to NSF's Partnerships for Research and Education in Chemistry (PREC) program. The planning work will explore how the high-energy, high-brilliance synchrotron X-rays at ChemMatCARS can benefit materials and medicinal chemistry research programs at the two local Historically Black Universities. It will also discuss strategies for increasing enrollment of Black students in undergraduate and graduate chemistry programs through the partnership. The award period runs from November 15, 2023 through October 31, 2025.
