- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $600,000 project grant to Professor Neil C. Tomson of the University of Pennsylvania. The 3-year project, starting on September 1, 2025, aims to study how iron-based catalysts can selectively activate and functionalize carbon-carbon sigma bonds under mild conditions. This research will lay the groundwork for future technologies that can produce pharmaceuticals, plastics, and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $575,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The grant supports a 3-year research project led by Professor Gerard Parkin to study the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of alkylperoxide, hydroperoxide, and fluoromethyl compounds of earth-abundant metals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc. This research aims to reduce the chemical industry's...
- This $292,130 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Loyola University of Chicago and the University of Connecticut to develop heavy atom-free photocatalysts for chemical reactions. The grant is funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through research in these fields. Specifically, the grant provides three years of funding until June 2026 for a collaborative research...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $249,999 to Rowan University to support research on the development of photocatalytic conditions to generate cyclic compounds, heterocycles, and desulfonylation methods using aryl tosylates. The goal is to provide fundamental knowledge on visible-light-mediated, single-electron-transfer methods and resulting divergent mechanisms dependent upon photocatalyst selection....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $600,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a 4-year research project led by Professor Alexander Radosevich.
