The Johns Hopkins University received a $355,664 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), awarded July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029. This collaborative research initiative addresses the development of computational and experimental methods to control nanoscale interactions in surface-patterned nanoparticles. The project will establish design rules for polymer patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, characterize how patterned nanoparticles interact, and translate these findings into functional materials for nanocatalysis and organic pollutant detection. Research outputs will produce generalizable design principles applicable to targeted delivery systems, catalysis, microelectronics, and advanced materials synthesis using bottom-up nanoscale engineering approaches. Beyond core research deliverables, the grant supports integrated workforce development and educational outreach activities. The research team will develop museum exhibits and family-focused Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) events, establish after-school programming, and engage high school students directly in research activities. Project activities will connect participating students with mentor networks critical for STEM workforce development and will incorporate research findings into new coursework to train subsequent generations of researchers in nanoscale materials design and engineering.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
