Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Catalysis and Biocatalysis - is cataloged under number PD-10-1401 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 47.041, posted by U.S. National Science Foundation. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on December 4, 2009 and last updated on December 10, 2010. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is $300,000 or more. The agency has projected $4.8 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 16 awards. If the agency funds the expected 16 awards from the $4.8 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $300,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity is closed. Monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements in the next funding cycle. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
The Catalysis and Biocatalysis program primarily supports fundamental and innovative applied research on the following topics:Kinetics and mechanisms of important catalyzed chemical reactions as they relate to the production of chemicals, fuels, and specialized materialsCharacterization of chemical and biochemical phenomena occurring at or near solid surfaces and interfacesKinetic modeling and theory of heterogeneous, homogeneous, and biocatalysisFundamental catalytic or biocatalytic studies of the processes for conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicalsSynthesis of novel compositions and structures for use in heterogeneous, homogeneous or biocatalystsElectrocatalytic processes having engineering significance or commercial potential, particularly for fuel cell applicationsFundamental aspects of reactive deposition and processing for thin film materials This program promotes multidisciplinary research in all of the above areas.Typical research topics include:Catalytic conversion of biorenewables to fuels or chemicalsEnvironmentally beneficial chemical process alternativesUltra selective reactions and catalysts for fine chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical productsCatalyst design for reaction engineering of chemical, photo-, electro-, and bio-catalytic processesSynthesis and characterization of novel catalytic structures for chemical conversions from the atomic through the nanoscale Mechanisms and kinetics of reactions at solid surfaces and at interfaces (gas-solid, liquid-solid including aqueous-solid)Ab initio and semiempirical kinetic theory and dynamic simulation of complex reactionsUtilization of new catalysts for producing nanomaterialsUtilization of catalytic materials in sensors, electronic devices, coatings; incorporation of components from the nano to micron scaleMaterials and mechanisms in electrocatalysis and fuel cell applications Proposals should address the novelty of the concept being proposed, compared to previous work in the field. Also, it is important to address why the novelty might be important in terms of engineering science, as well as to also project the potential impact on society and /or industry of success in the research. The information requested in this paragraph should be included, as a minimum, in the Project Summary of each proposal. The duration of unsolicited awards is generally one to three years. The average annual award size for the program is $100,000. Small equipment proposals of less than $100,000 will also be considered and may be submitted during these windows. Any proposal received outside the announced dates will be returned without review.The duration of CAREER awards is five years. The submission deadline for Engineering CAREER proposals is in July every year. Please see the following URL for more information: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2008/nsf08051/nsf08051.jsp.Proposals for Conferences, Workshops, and Supplements may be submitted at any time, but must be discussed with the program director before submission.Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) replace the SGER program. Please note that proposals of these types must be discussed with the program director before submission. Further details are available in the PAPPG download, available below. Please refer to the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG), January 2010, (NSF 10-1) when you prepare your proposal. The PAPPG is available for download at: http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf101
