This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry Project Grant, with the CFDA number 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $510,759 to support research and educational initiatives at Illinois State University and in collaboration with researchers at UC-Davis and the University of Michigan. The award aims to develop new chemical reactions and understand the underlying mechanisms, with a focus on enabling the transformation of 2D molecules into 3D building blocks that are relevant to biology, medicine, and other fields. Key outcomes will include training the next generation of scientists, including those from underrepresented groups, in organic chemistry through hands-on research opportunities, outreach activities, and cross-institutional collaborations. The project is led by Professors Andrew Mitchell and Dean Tantillo, and involves sub-awards to support the work of Professor Corey Stephenson at the University of Michigan.
