Nano-Bio Phenomena and Processes in the Environment

Funding Opportunity Number: PD-15-1179 Opportunity Category: DiscretionaryFunding Instrument Type: GrantCategory of Funding Activity: Science and Technology and other Research and DevelopmentCFDA Number: 47.041Eligible Applicants Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"Agency Name: NSFClosing Date: Oct 20, 2015Award Ceiling: Expected Number of Awards: Creation Date: Jul 24, 2015Funding Opportunity Description: The goal of theNano-Bio Phenomena and Processes in the Environment (NPPE)program is to support research to further fundamental and quantitative understanding of the interactions of biological and ecological media with nanostructured materials and nanosystems, which include one- to three-dimensional nanostructured materials and heterogeneous nano-bio hybrid assemblies. Such nanostructured materials and systems frequently exhibit novel physical, chemical and biological behavior in living systems and ecological matrices as compared to the bulk scale. This program supports research that explores the interaction of nanoscale materials and systems with both macro and nano-scale systems in biological and environmental media, as well as remediation solutions. Proposals submitted to NPPE should address one or more of the following research areas: Characterization and exploration of interactions at the interfaces between nanostru...
