Division of Chemistry: Disciplinary Research Programs: No Deadline Pilot Grant

This NSF Division of Chemistry solicitation is a no-deadline pilot for proposals to the Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP), Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD), and Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods (CTMC) programs. Standard proposals to these programs must use this solicitation or will be returned without review, subject to specified exceptions. Eligible submitters include qualifying U.S. nonprofit research- or education-associated organizations and accredited U.S.-campus two- and four-year institutions of higher education acting for faculty. The packet confirms $45 million in total funding and no cost-share requirement, but does not provide award-size ranges, award counts, or detailed proposal and review requirements. Applicants should resolve program fit, routing exceptions, and the requirements in NSF Publication 22-606 before proceeding.

Plain-English explanation

Plain-English explanation

This NSF Division of Chemistry solicitation is a no-deadline pilot for proposals to the Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP), Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD), and Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods (CTMC) programs. Standard proposals to these programs must use this solicitation or will be returned without review, subject to specified exceptions. Eligible submitters include qualifying U.S. nonprofit research- or education-associated organizations and accredited U.S.-campus two- and four-year institutions of higher education acting for faculty. The packet confirms $45 million in total funding and no cost-share requirement, but does not provide award-size ranges, award counts, or detailed proposal and review requirements. Applicants should resolve program fit, routing exceptions, and the requirements in NSF Publication 22-606 before proceeding.

Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

NSF is piloting removal of proposal deadlines for CLP, CSD, and CTMC to assess the benefits and challenges for the chemistry research community. The stated intent is to give PIs more flexibility and better facilitate interdisciplinary research, while recognizing possible unanticipated effects on PIs, reviewers, and institutions.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The proposed work is clearly within one of the three programs covered by the pilot: CLP, CSD, or CTMC. The submitting organization is an eligible U.S. nonprofit research- or education-associated organization, or an accredited U.S.-campus IHE acting on behalf of faculty. The applicant can use the pilot’s flexible submission timing or has an interdisciplinary research rationale. This is a strategic inference from the stated pilot aims, not a confirmed review factor. The project can proceed without mandatory cost sharing; the funding record states that cost sharing is not required. A standard CLP, CSD, or CTMC proposal is routed through this solicitation rather than another route, because otherwise it will be returned without review.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The packet supplies no explicit review criteria, scoring rubric, or reviewer priorities. The only defensible inferred priority is clear fit with CLP, CSD, or CTMC, because the solicitation is limited to those programs. Applicants should not represent flexible timing or interdisciplinarity as stated evaluation criteria based on this packet.

Source-backed synopsis

What this grant funds

With this solicitation, the Division of Chemistry is piloting the removal of deadlines for the submission of proposals to the CLP, CSD and CTMC Programs.

The no-deadline pilot seeks to assess the benefits and challenges of removing deadlines in proposal submission for the chemistry research community: the removal of deadlines on proposal submission is intended to allow principal investigators (PIs) more flexibility and better facilitate interdisciplinary research. It may, however, have unanticipated consequences for PIs, reviewers, and institutions.

This solicitation applies only to the Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP), Chemical Structure and Dynamics (CSD), and Chemical Theory, Models and Computational Methods (CTMC) programs. Other than the following exceptions, all proposals submitted to the CLP, CSD, and CTMC programs must be submitted through this solicitation, otherwise they will be returned without review.

Exceptions:

Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) proposals should be submitted through the CAREER solicitation ( https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214 ) by the CAREER deadline date specified.

Facilitating Research at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions: Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) and Research Opportunity Awards (ROA) proposals should be submitted through the RUI/ROA solicitation ( https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5518 ). In addition to the requirements of the RUI program, proposals should follow the guidance in this solicitation. Proposals submitted through the RUI/ROA solicitation to the CLP, CSD, and CTMC programs can be submitted at any time starting September 1, 2022.

Proposals for Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER), Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID), Research Advanced by Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering (RAISE), and conferences can be submitted anytime after consultation with the cognizant NSF Program Officer.

Supplemental funding requeststo existing grantscan be submitted anytime after consultation with the cognizant NSF Program Officer.
