Summary from source
The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (NSF MPS) supports foundational research through multiple programs in the chemical sciences. Programs include: Chemical Catalysis Chemical Measurement and Imaging Chemical Mechanism, Function, and Properties Chemical Structure and Dynamics Chemical Synthesis Chemical Systems and Solutions Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods Chemistry of Life Processes Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry NSF MPS is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.
