Centers for Chemical Innovation
The Centers for Chemical Innovation (CCI) Program supportsresearch centersfocused on major, long-term fundamental chemical researchchallenges.CCIs that addressthese challenges will produce transformative research, lead to innovation, and attract broad scientific and public interest.
CCIs are agile structures that can respond rapidly to emerging opportunities through enhanced collaborations.
CCIs integrate research, innovation, education, broadening participation, andinformal science communication.
The FY 2018 Phase I CCI competition is open to projects in all fields supported by the Division of Chemistry, and must have focus and the potential for transformative impact in chemistry.NSF Chemistry particularly encourages projects in Data-Driven Discovery Science in Chemistry (D3SC).
The CCI Program is a two-phase program.
Both phases are described in this solicitation.
Phase I CCIs receive significant resources to develop the science, management and broader impacts of a major research center before requesting Phase II funding.
Satisfactory progress in Phase I is required for Phase II applications; Phase I proposals funded in FY 2018 will seek Phase II funding in FY 202 1. This solicitation also covers the renewal application of the Phase II CCI initiated in FY 2013:
CAICE, led by the University of California San Diego.
