Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Division of Chemistry: Disciplinary Research Programs: No Deadline Pilot (CHE-DRP:NDP) Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in this funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. Supports the discovery and development of theoretical and computational methods or models to address a range of fundamental chemical challenges, with emphasis on emerging areas of chemical research.
Supports the discovery and development of theoretical and computational methods or models to address a range of fundamental chemical challenges, with emphasis on emerging areas of chemical research.
The Chemical Theory, Models, and Computational Methods (CTMC) Program supports the discovery and development of theoretical and computational methods or models to address a range of fundamental chemical challenges, with emphasis on emerging areas of chemical research.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, electronic structure, quantum reaction dynamics, theoretical/computational spectroscopy, statistical mechanics, molecular dynamics and simulation, bio-simulation, and development of AI-based approaches including machine learning.
Proposals dealing with methods relevant to chemistry domains that have a strong history of application of theory and computation, should involve innovations that substantially broaden their applicability. Collaborative proposals that combine forefront advances in both CTMC and other disciplinary research programs in the Chemistry Division are encouraged.
The CTMC Program also encourages proposal submissions in the following topical areas: Chemistry-oriented proposals on quantum information science (QIS) ranging from fundamentals to quantum computing, sensing, and communication are encouraged. CTMC participates in the Critical Aspects of Sustainability (CAS) program , and welcomes CTMC-relevant proposals consistent with the goals of that program.
The CTMC Program encourages the integration of innovative software development with methodological and algorithmic development, especially computational approaches that allow efficient utilization of emerging computer architectures. Such Computational and Data Science and Engineering ( CDS&E ) proposals should be submitted to the CTMC Program directly.
Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry ( GOALI ) proposals, where such advances are connected directly to industrial considerations, are also encouraged.
Research topics that are not of interest to the CTMC Program: Proposals that utilize established theoretical and modeling approaches to solve problems in chemistry without significant theoretical or methodological development, or that focus on the development of biology or materials design, may be more appropriate for other programs in either the Chemistry Division or in other NSF Divisions or Directorates.
Proposals submitted to this program (including individual and collaborative proposals, GOALIs) must be submitted to the CHE Disciplinary Research Programs solicitation. · RUI proposals must be submitted to the RUI Solicitation during the regular proposal submission window for this program.
· Proposals submitted in response to another solicitation (CAREER) should follow the solicitation guidelines (e.g. CAREER) · Workshop, EAGER, RAPID or RAISE proposals must be discussed with a Program Officer before submission, and then should only be submitted as instructed.
PIs are encouraged to monitor current funding priorities identified by the Foundation and the Executive and Legislative branches, and to highlight relevant synergies in their Project Summaries and Project Descriptions. CHE is also committed to the inclusion of all people and institutions across all geographies in the U.S. because all are vital to the nation’s health, security and global leadership in STEM.
NSF welcomes the submission of proposals to this funding opportunity that include the participation of the full spectrum of diverse talent in STEM, e.g., as PI, co-PI, senior personnel, postdoctoral scholars, graduate or undergraduate students or trainees.
CHE also recognizes that STEM research and education occur at a wide range of institutions, including Minority-serving Institutions (MSIs), Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), and two-year colleges, as well as major research institutions.
CHE welcomes single institution and multi-institutional collaborative proposals from all types of institutions and encourages authentic and substantive collaborations and partnerships across diverse geographies and types of institutions. Proposals from EPSCoR jurisdictions are especially encouraged.
CHE occasionally supports forward-looking workshops attempting to inform roadmaps (included in the resulting workshop reports) for future research needs and directions relevant to chemical science. We are not generally able to support research symposia, including those at either special or recurring meetings and conferences.

Fire Science Innovations through Research and Education (FIRE) program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program invites innovative multidisciplinary and multisector investigations focused on convergent research and education activities in wildland fire. It supports research that can inform risk management and response, adaptation, and resilience across infrastructures, communities, cultures, and natural environments. Relevant topics include developing novel materials and methods for retrofitting existing buildings and remediating buildings following wildfire and smoke events.
Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) & National Institutes of Health (NIH). This interagency program supports innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that leverages computer and information science, engineering, mathematical sciences, and biomedical, social, behavioral, and economic sciences to address pressing questions in biomedical and public health research. It seeks transformative advancements in developing novel methods to intelligently collect, sense, connect, analyze, and interpret data from individuals, devices, and systems to enable discovery and optimize health. Given the focus on AI and biomedical research, this could include AI medical imaging for cancer, though direct PhD scholarship for international students is not explicitly stated, it supports research that PhD students would conduct.

The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
