Program Solicitation in Environmental Chemical Sciences
June 12, 2009 / Posted by: Aaron Gronstal
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has released a solicitation for proposals through the Environmental Chemical Sciences (ECS) Program. ECS supports basic research concerning chemical processes that affect our environment. In particular, the program seeks to fund laboratory research that concerns molecular phenomena on environmental surfaces and interfaces, and projects that will aid in predicting environmental phenomena at the molecular scale.
Understanding the chemical processes that underlie the Earth’s environment can aid astrobiologists in determining the basic conditions that gave rise to life and the fundamental principles that make the Earth’s environment habitable for life.
