Division of Chemistry: Disciplinary Research Programs: No Deadline Pilot (CHE-DRP:NDP)

The NSF Division of Chemistry is piloting a no-deadline submission process for three disciplinary research programs: Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP), Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD), and Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods (CTMC). This pilot removes traditional deadlines to provide principal investigators more flexibility and facilitate interdisciplinary research in the chemical sciences. CHE supports fundamental discovery, invention, and innovation across areas including molecular design and synthesis, chemical transformations, biological systems, nanoscale materials, environmental chemistry, computational methods, and contributions to quantum information systems, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence. The pilot will run for at least one year and be evaluated annually for continuation.
