OpportunityTitle: CHE-DMR-DMS Solar Energy Initiative
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: *Organization Limit: Proposals may only be submitted by the following:    -Universities and Colleges: Universities and two- and four-year colleges (including community colleges) located and accredited in the US, acting on behalf of their faculty members. Such organizations also are referred to as academic institutions.    *PI Limit:Proposals, and their associated preliminary proposals, must include three or more co-Principal Investigators (co-PIs); one must have demonstrated high expertise in chemistry, a second in materials research, and a third in mathematical sciences.
Description: The purpose of the CHE-DMR-DMS Solar Energy Initiative is to support interdisciplinary efforts by groups of researchers to address the scientific challenges of highly efficient harvesting, conversion, and storage of solar energy. Groups must include three or more co-Principal Investigators; one must have demonstrated high expertise in chemistry, a second in materials research, and a third in mathematical sciences. The goal here is to create a new modality of linking the mathematical with the chemical and materials sciences to develop transformative paradigms in an area of much activity but largely incremental advances. Successful proposals will offer potentially transformative projects and new concepts based on the integrated expertise and synergy from the three disciplinary communities.
