Chemistry and Biochemistry
National Science Foundation
Chemistry (CHE) The mission of the DIVISION OF CHEMISTRY of the National Science Foundation is to promote the health of academic chemistry and to enable basic research and education in the chemical sciences. Modes of support include single investigator and multi-investigator awards, as well as funding for shared instrumentation, instrumentation development, and educational projects that leverage the division's research investments to build research capacity. The Division supports research in all traditional areas of chemistry and in multidisciplinary fields that draw upon the chemical sciences. Projects that help build infrastructure and partnerships that advance the chemical sciences are also supported.

Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI)
The Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) activity supports research by faculty members of predominantly undergraduate institutions through the funding of (1) individual and collaborative research projects, (2) the purchase of shared-use research instrumentation, and (3) Research Opportunity Awards for work with NSF-supported investigators at other institutions.

Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards ProgramThe CAMILLE DREYFUS TEACHER-SCHOLAR AWARDS Program supports the teaching and research careers of talented young faculty in the chemical sciences. The program provides discretionary funding to faculty at early stages in their careers. Criteria for selection include impressive accomplishments in individual research as well as excellence in teaching.

Henry Dreyfus Scholar Award ProgramThe HENRY DREYFUS TEACHER-SCHOLAR AWARDS PROGRAM is based on accomplishments in scholarly research with undergraduates, as well as a compelling commitment to teaching but the reference is with respect to primarily undergraduate institutions. Recommendations for awards are based on the reviewer's being convinced that the nominee, as an independent faculty member, has significant original research accomplishments with undergraduates and will continue to produce a body of scholarship of outstanding quality.

Course Curriculum and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI)The CCLI program seeks to improve the quality of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education for all undergraduate students. The program supports efforts to create new learning materials and teaching strategies, develop faculty expertise, implement education innovations, assess learning and evaluate innovations, and conduct research on STEM teaching and learning. The program supports three types of projects representing these different phases of development, ranging from small exploratory investigations to large, comprehensive projects.

Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER)
The SGER Program funds small-scale, exploratory, high-risk research in the fields of science, engineering and education normally supported by NSF. Investigators are strongly encouraged to contact the program officer prior to submission to ensure that their project meets the guidelines.

Cottrell College Science Award
The Cottrell College Science Awards support research in astronomy, chemistry, and physics at public and private, predominantly undergraduate colleges. The projects proposed are judged on the basis of scientific originality, significance, feasibility, and the ability of the institutional environment to sustain the activity.
