FY2003 Solicitation: Catalysis Science
Office of Science Notice 03-16Published December 17, 2002Letters of Intent submitted by February 5, 2003.Formal applications received by March 26, 2003.
$6.5M to be distributed, between universities and National Laboratories
GOAL: to develop combined experimental and theoretical approaches to enable molecular-level understanding of catalytic reaction mechanisms, ultimately enabling the prediction of catalytic reactivity at multiple time and length scales. Strongly encouraged are applications which:
integrate physical, chemical, and/or biochemical experimentation with solid state and molecular reactivity theories;
integrate atomistic design of catalytically active sites; molecular, supramolecular or solid-state synthesis; and in-situ, time- and space-resolved, spectroscopy and microscopy;
identify mechanisms and principles common to homogeneous, heterogeneous, and bio catalysis for the purpose of advancing the understanding of catalysis and developing novel chemical or physical functionalities; and
seek to understand and manage catalyst complexity arising from the combination of diverse functionalities, namely chemical, biological, electronic, optical, magnetic, mechanical, thermal, etc.

FY2003 Solicitation: Theory, Modeling and Simulation in Nanoscience
Notice 03-17 --Published February 6, 2003Preapplications received by February 18, 2003. Formal applications received by April 9, 2003.
$6.0M Solicitaton Joint with the Office of Advance Scientific Computing Research. $1.5M Contribution from DCSG&B
A new investment in theory, modeling and simulation in nanoscience will have a major impact on the national nanoscience initiative, by stimulating the formation of alliances and teams of experimentalists, theorists, applied mathematicians, and computer and computational scientists to meet the challenge of developing a broad quantitative understanding of structure and dynamics at the nanoscale.

• 62 Preapplications were received of which 17 were encouraged to submit applications and an additional 9 were told to submit applications if greater attention was paid to the cross disciplinary nature of the announcement
• 34 Applications were received representing 280 PIs, some from people who had been discouraged. Of the 34, 30 were deemed to be responsive to the call.
• These 30 were reviewed by two panels of 14 each.
• In the end, 4 projects were funded.
