The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded New Jersey Institute of Technology $104,483 under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) to develop novel graded solvent-resistant membranes for pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. The project, which commenced September 1, 2026 and concludes August 31, 2027, will modify commercially available membranes to enable separation of molecules ranging from 200 to 3,000 Daltons (DA) across multiple purification stages. The resulting membranes will be characterized by solute rejection profiles, solvent flux measurements, and material characterization techniques to support organic solvent nanofiltration and ultrafiltration applications in active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing. The award supports fundamental research addressing a critical gap in membrane separation technology for multi-step pharmaceutical synthesis, where conventional membranes operate only within narrowly specified molecular weight ranges. By developing graded membranes with sequentially lower molecular weight cutoffs, the project advances U.S. manufacturing competitiveness in biologically active molecule production while incorporating educational components through undergraduate student training in membrane fabrication and separation technologies. No subawards are planned for this EAGER (Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research) funding mechanism.Federal Grant Award Summary
