About this opportunity

The National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG) supports foundational engineering research for transport systems through the following programs:  The Chemical Process Systems (CPS) program supports foundational engineering research in chemical and biochemical processes for materials. The Engineering Biological and Biomedical Systems (EBBS) program supports foundational engineering research on processes that advance knowledge and control of biological functions.  The  Resource Engineering (EWRE) program supports foundational engineering research to manage material resources. The Transport Phenomena (TP) program supports foundational engineering research to control the transport of species across multiple scales. NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of ENG: Transport Systems (CBET) awards with a range of budgets and durations. Estimated program budget, number of awards, and average award size/duration are subject to the availability of funds. NSF ENG is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.
