MPS Chemistry Research Programs (MPS Chem)

<p>The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (NSF MPS) supports foundational research through multiple programs in the chemical sciences.</p><p>Programs include:</p><ul><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/cat-chemical-catalysis">Chemical Catalysis</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/cmi-chemical-measurement-imaging">Chemical Measurement and Imaging</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/cmfp-chemical-mechanism-function-properties">Chemical Mechanism, Function, and Properties</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/csd-chemical-structure-dynamics-program">Chemical Structure and Dynamics</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/syn-chemical-synthesis">Chemical Synthesis</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/css-chemical-systems-solutions">Chemical Systems and Solutions</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/ctmc-chemical-theory-models-computational-methods">Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/clp-chemistry-life-processes">Chemistry of Life Processes</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/msn-macromolecular-supramolecular-nanochemistry">Macromolecular, Supramolecular, and Nanochemistry</a> </p></li></ul><p>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. </p>
