Centers for Chemical Innovation Phase I (CCI-I) - NSF 08-536
The CCI Program is designed to support the formation of centers that can address major, long-term basic chemical research problems that have a high probability of both producing transformative research and leading to innovation.
(Note from NSF: An investigator may participate (as a PI or senior personnel) in only one CCI-I proposal and associated pre-proposal submitted to this competition. It is the responsibility of the PI to insure that all senior personnel do not appear on more than one CCI-I proposal or more than one pre-proposal.)
