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 2019 Phase I CCI competition is open to projects in all fields supported by the Division of Chemistry, and must have scientific focus and the potential for transformative impact in chemistry.NSF Chemistry particularly encourages fundamental chemistry projects related to one or more of NSF's <a title="10 Big Ideas" href="https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/big_ideas/index.jsp">10 Big Ideas</a>.
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 2019 will seek Phase II funding in FY 202 2. This solicitation also covers the renewal application of the Phase II CCI initiated in FY 2014:
the Center for Sustainable Polymers, led by the University of Minnesota.

All other investigators are considered Faculty Associates (non-coPI senior personnel).
The PI must be affiliated with an eligible submitting organization.
An investigator may participate (as PI or Faculty Associate) in only oneCCI preliminary proposal and one CCI full proposal (Phase I or Phase II) submitted to this competition.
In cases where an individual appears in two or more proposals, any submitted proposals involving that person may be returned without review.
The Phase II eligibility is limited to renewal of an existing CCI initiated in FY 2014.
