Colgate University received a $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. Professors Anthony Chianese and Jason Keith are leading research to advance the understanding and efficiency of metal-ligand-cooperative hydrogenation catalysts through combined experimental and computational approaches. The project delivers mechanistic insights into transition-metal catalyzed hydrogenolysis reactions of esters and amides, with the goal of developing improved catalysts that reduce chemical waste, enhance energy efficiency, and enable synthesis of new high-value molecules. All research activities are conducted by undergraduate students in the principal investigators' laboratories. The award generates multiple deliverables aligned with NSF's basic research and education objectives: scientific knowledge contributing to catalytic chemistry and molecular-level reaction mechanisms; improved catalyst designs informed by mechanistic understanding; and undergraduate research training for students conducting laboratory experiments and computer modeling. Additionally, the research team conducts annual outreach activities for high school students attending Camp Fiver, a residential summer program serving at-risk youth from New York City and rural upstate New York, thereby broadening participation in the sciences. This Research at Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) award emphasizes the integration of undergraduate students into research activities and their professional development in chemistry and computational science.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
