The American Competitiveness in Chemistry-Fellowship program is a program to support postdoctoral associates in chemistry.?? It seeks to (1) build ties between academic and industrial, and/or national laboratory, and/or Chemistry Division-funded center researchers (partners) and (2) involve beginning scientists in efforts to broaden participation in chemistry.?? Fellows will pursue research with industrial, and/or national laboratory, and/or Chemistry Division-funded center partners that will enrich their in-house research program.?? In addition, fellows will develop and implement their own plans for broadening participation in the chemical sciences.?? Successful applicants must propose a well-integrated, synergistic research plan with their chosen affiliate as well as an effective outreach plan that will broaden participation by underrepresented groups in chemistry.?? The research must be in a thematic area that is supported by the NSF Division of Chemistry.??????The Program will support Fellows for two years of postgraduate study.?? The Chemistry Division envisions that Postdoctoral Fellows with successful programs who pursue careers in academia will have opportunities for significant additional funding, either through supplements to their original ACC-F award, or through new awards from the Division.?? Future revisions of this solicitation will expand the scope of this program to other beginning scientists, pending availability of funds.

Search similar grants →Based on current listing details, eligibility includes: Eligible applicants: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification). Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: Fellowship proposals may be submitted by a US university, college, or non-profit, non-academic organization with the prospective Fellow as the Principal Investigator (PI). Fellowship proposals may also be submitted by individuals who are unaffiliated or who are affiliated with for-profit organizations, state or local governments or federal agencies. When applying as independent/unaffiliated individuals, Fellow applicants must register with FastLane or Grants.gov prior to submitting their proposals and, if recommended for a Fellowship, must affiliate with a US university, college, or non-profit, non-academic organization, which administers the Fellowship award. PI Limit:The PI on an American Competitiveness in Chemistry-Fellowship must be the prospective Fellow. No co-PIs are allowed. At the time of the award, a Fellow must hold a doctorate in the chemical sciences and must be a US citizen or permanent resident. For a Postdoctoral Fellowship, the individual must have received his or her doctorate within two years from the start date of the fellowship. PIs who have not yet received their PhD are eligible to apply. Exceptions to this time-related restriction can be made for extenuating personal circumstances, such as a career interruption due to family responsibilities, but must be approved by a cognizant program officer prior to submission of the proposal. Applicants should confirm final requirements in the official notice before submission.

The program “Physics of Living Systems” (PoLS) at the National Science Foundation evolved from the successful Biological Physics program, which supported projects that applied analytical and experimental tools of physics to the study of biological problems at the molecular level. PoLS is replacing the Biological Physics program and will target theoretical and experimental research exploring the most fundamental biological processes that living systems utilize to perform their functions in dynamic and diverse environments. PoLS will stimulate those investigations that have the potential to transform the study of living systems.PoLS will encourage research that will emphasize the physical principles of organization and function of living systems, including the exploration of artificial life forms. While the problems under study must be important to advancing our understanding of the living world in a quantitative way, particular emphasis will be placed on those projects in which lessons learned from the biological application also expand the intellectual range of physics. Awards will cover a broad spectrum of physics approaches in biology, ranging from the physical principles and mechanisms at the single cell level such as cellular organization (e.g. cytoskeleton), energy metabolism, gene regulation and intracellular and intercellular communication, to collective behavior and evolution of complexity in life forms and living populations of organisms. This systems approach in physics has been very successful in understanding inanimate systems, and has the potential to bring deep understanding of the world of animated, replicating systems, through falsifiable phenomenological theories. In vitro systems, if necessary for understanding of the physical principles in a living organism, will be supported as well. The program funds individual investigators, although collaborative proposals between physicists and biological researchers are welcome. Funding Opportunity Number: PD-08-7246.

The NBM program supports fundamental research in biomechanics and nanomechanics. Research on biomechanics focuses on the mechanical properties and behavior of biological materials and structures, including cells, tissue, muscles, bones, and prosthetic implants. Research on nanomechanics focuses on the unique properties of nano-scale particles and microstructural features and their effects on the macroscopic mechanics and properties of materials, surfaces, and structures that contain them.
