- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049), supports Professor Abigail G. Doyle at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in developing novel synthetic reactions that use visible light and photocatalysts to access high-energy, polar reactive intermediates. The $630,000 award will fund the development of several key transformations, including a desaturation...
- This $462,226 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry will support Professor Rory Waterman of the University of Vermont in studying more efficient ways to form chemical bonds using metal compounds activated by light, a process called photocatalysis. The key objectives are to investigate a new photocatalysis phenomenon discovered in Prof. Waterman's group, develop photocatalytic approaches to forming carbon-element bonds (e.g. phosphorus,...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $545,912 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Professor Zachariah A. Page at the University of Texas at Austin. The grant, awarded from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, supports the development of innovative approaches to synthesize durable and/or recyclable plastics using visible light as a renewable energy source. Specifically, the project aims to design and study boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded $450,000 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for a three-year project grant (September 1, 2026 – August 31, 2029) led by Professor Marcel Schreier. The project delivers fundamental research into electrocatalytic methods for converting domestic natural gas compounds into higher-value hydrocarbons at ambient temperatures. Using electrochemical approaches that...

- This $650,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry supports the research of Dr. Raphael Florentino Ribeiro of Emory University. The award, effective December 1, 2023 through November 30, 2028, aims to develop new theoretical approaches and computational methods for investigating chemical phenomena in microenvironments that confine light and interact strongly with matter. The research will computationally explore strategies to achieve...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 project grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the use of light in organic synthesis. Under this 3-year award effective July 1, 2024, Professor Tehshik Yoon and his team will design novel photocatalysts that can interact directly with small molecules to control how they react and form more complex products. The research aims to transform discovery in pharmaceutical and materials chemistry by developing new synthetic methods and providing fundamental insights into using light energy in chemical synthesis. The project involves an interdisciplinary approach combining chemical synthesis, computational modeling, and spectroscopy. No federal grant sub-awards are planned for this project.
