The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $995,786 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Sonoma State University to integrate computational chemistry resources into undergraduate education and research. This 4-year project, starting on August 1, 2024, will leverage the NSF-funded ChemCompute science gateway to provide web-based access to academic computational chemistry software for students. The project aims to develop course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) in computational chemistry at participating universities and train faculty to use the ChemCompute platform in their classes and undergraduate research. Additional goals include improving the accessibility of the ChemCompute site, expanding its capabilities to support undergraduate research, developing new curriculum, and fostering a community of faculty users. The project will also support the dissemination of the ChemCompute platform to minority-serving institutions to expose more students to computational chemistry research.
