This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry, under the agency's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $383,333 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study the synthesis and bonding of iron-sulfur clusters. The research aims to understand how the composition of these synthetic clusters affects their ability to bind and activate dinitrogen, which is critical for developing more efficient...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award to The Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund (Tulane University) provides $112,576 in funding from February 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024 to support theoretical research, computation, and education aimed at developing more accurate and predictive density functionals for the exchange-correlation energy in quantum mechanical modeling of molecules, chemicals, and materials. The research...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award, spanning January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2028, supports Professor Alexander Radosevich's research on designing and applying highly reactive redox-active organophosphorus catalysts composed of earth-abundant elements like iron and phosphorus. The goal is to develop new catalytic...
This $575,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of California, Berkeley will support Professor Thomas Maimone's research on developing new synthetic strategies for constructing complex, nitrogen-containing molecules. The work aims to identify transformations that can efficiently produce unique target molecules with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $340,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund, doing business as Tulane University. Researchers at Tulane University and Tufts University will perform computational and experimental investigations using quantum chemistry, machine learning, and atomic-scale characterization to identify and develop a novel class of "dual-atom alloy" catalysts....
This $398,196 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) funds a collaborative research project between the United States and Germany to investigate the initial steps involved in the synthesis of metallocofactors for the nitrogenase enzyme. The project aims to elucidate how the NifU and NifS proteins in the model bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii assemble the iron-sulfur building blocks required for nitrogenase...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $643,347 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. Through this 5-year grant, Dr. Tibor Szilv?si will develop computational methods and tools to accelerate the design of efficient molecular catalysts. The research will focus on three areas: nitrogen fixation using biomimetic organometallic complexes, hydrogen activation using main group catalysts, and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $450,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL), operating through its Office of Research. This 3-year collaborative research grant, beginning September 15, 2023, will support an investigation into the initial charge separation mechanism in Photosystem I, a critical component of photosynthesis in plants, algae, and bacteria. The research team, led by...
This Project Grant award for $450,000 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The funding supports collaborative research by Professors Yisong Guo of Carnegie Mellon University and Wei-Chen Chang of North Carolina State University to investigate a group of four enzymes that utilize a single iron atom and molecular oxygen to catalyze diverse chemical reactions. The goal is to elucidate the...
The University of Texas at Austin received a three-year, $450,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry on September 15, 2021 to support research titled "SCAFFOLD-BASED BIOMIMETICS OF FE-HYDROGENASE AND NITROGENASE (FEMOCO): INTERROGATING DYNAMICS, PROTEIN MATRIX EFFECTS, AND CARBIDE MOTIFS."
