The 1995 awards in chemistry under the Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program (ILI) of the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) have been announced and are listed below. The ILI program provides matching funds in the range of $5,000 to $100,000 for purchasing equipment for laboratory improvement. Since the recipient institution must provide matching funds equaling or exceeding the NSF award, the supported projects range in cost from $10,000 to over $200,000.
The 330 chemistry proposals requesting $16 million constituted 21% of the total number of proposals submitted to the ILI program. A total of $3.5 million was awarded in support of 93 projects in chemistry. The instruments requested most frequently were high field NMRs, followed closely by GC/MS, computers for data analysis, FT-IRs, computer systems for molecular modeling, and lasers. The list below also includes some awards made in the interdisciplinary or chemical engineering disciplines that may be of interest to chemists. No awards were made this year in chemistry within the Leadership in Laboratory Development category.
The next deadline for submission of ILI proposals is November 14, 1995. Guidelines for the preparation of proposals are found in the DUE Program Announcement (NSF 94-160) which may be obtained by calling (703) 306-1666 or by e-mail: undergrad@nsf.gov.
