Chemical and Biological Separations (CBS)
The Chemical and Biological Separations (CBS) program supports fundamental research on novel methods and materials for separation processes. These processes are central to the chemical, biochemical, materials, energy, and pharmaceutical industries. A fundamental understanding of the interfacial, transport, and thermodynamic behavior of multiphase chemical systems as well as quantitative descriptions of processing characteristics in the process-oriented industries is critical for efficient resource management and effective environmental protection. The program encourages proposals that address emerging research areas and technologies, have a high degree of interdisciplinary thought coupled with knowledge creation, and integrate education and research. |

Interfacial Processes and Thermodynamics
Currently, emphasis is placed on molecular engineering approaches at interfaces, especially as applied to the processing of soft materials. Molecules at interfaces with functional interfacial properties are of special interest. These interfacial molecules may have biomolecular functions at the micro and nanoscale. Interfacial materials are generally formed through molecular self-directed, -templated, and/or -assembly, and they are driven primarily by thermodynamic intermolecular forces. In some cases, these interfacial processes may also be supplemented by weak chemical reactions. |

Thermal Transport Processes
The Thermal Transport Processes program supports engineering research aimed at gaining a basic understanding of the microscopic and macroscopic levels of thermal transport phenomena (heat and mass transfer) underlying energy conversion and conservation, the synthesis and processing of materials, cooling and heating of infrastructure and equipment, the interaction of industrial processes with the environment, the propulsion of air and land-based vehicles, and thermal phenomena in biological and environmental systems. The program supports fundamental research and engineering education in transport processes that are driven by thermal gradients, and their manipulation to achieve engineering goals. This engineering science forms an important part of the intellectual infrastructure of a wide array of modern technologies. |

Process and Reaction Engineering
The Process and Reaction Engineering program supports fundamental and applied research on: 1) Rates and mechanisms of important classes of catalyzed and uncatalyzed chemical reactions as they relate to the design, production, and application of catalysts, chemical processes, biochemical processes, and specialized materials, 2) Chemical and biochemical phenomena occurring at or near solid surfaces and interfaces, 3) Electrochemical and photochemical processes of engineering significance or with commercial potential, 4) Design and optimization of complex chemical and biochemical processes, 5) Dynamic modeling and control of process systems and individual process units, 6) Reactive processing of polymers, ceramics, and thin films, and 7) Interactions between chemical reactions and transport processes in reactive systems, and the use of this information in the design of complex chemical and biochemical reactors |

Combustion, Fire, and Plasma Systems
The Combustion, Fire, and Plasma Systems program supports fundamental research and education on the title subjects. Among the broader societal impacts of the program are cleaner global and local environments, enhanced public safety, improved energy and homeland security, and more efficient manufacturing. This program is not an applied research program, but rather it provides broad, basic knowledge that can be used by others in development of systems for combustion and plasma applications and for mitigating the effects of fire. Broad-based tools - - computational, experimental, or diagnostic - - that can be applied to a variety of problems in combustion, fires, and/or plasmas are major products of this endeavor. |

Particulate and Multiphase Processes
The Particulate and Multiphase Processes program supports fundamental and applied research on mechanisms and phenomena governing particulate and multiphase processes, including granular and granular-fluid flows, particle/bubble/droplet interactions, aerosol science and technology, suspensions, micro- and nano-structured fluids, self- and directed-assembly of nanostructures involving particulates, and related instrumentation and diagnostics. Innovative research is sought that contributes to improving the basic understanding, design, predictability, efficiency, and control of particulate and multiphase processes with particular emphasis on: new frontiers in nanotechnology, novel manufacturing techniques, nano-metrology, multiphase transport in biological systems, environmental sustainability, critical infrastructure systems, and complex engineering systems. |

Environmental Engineering
The Environmental Engineering program supports fundamental research and educational activities across the broad field it serves. The goal of this program is to encourage transformative research which applies scientific principles to minimize solid, liquid, and gaseous discharges into land, inland and coastal waters, and air that result from human activity, and to evaluate adverse impacts of these discharges on human health and environmental quality. The program fosters cutting-edge research based on fundamental science and four types of engineering tools - - measurement, analysis, synthesis, and design. |

Research to Aid Persons with Disabilities (RAPD)
The Research to Aid Persons with Disabilities (RAPD) program supports research that will lead to the development of new technologies, devices, or software for persons with disabilities. Research may be supported that is directed to the characterization, restoration, and/or substitution of human functional ability or cognition, or to the interaction of persons with disabilities and their environment. Areas of particular recent interest are disability-related research in neuroscience/neuroengineering and rehabilitation robotics. |

International Collaborations in Infectious Disease Research (ICIDR) (U01)
This FOA invites applications from U.S. institutions proposing collaborative research with foreign [non-U.S.] investigators and organizations focused on infectious diseases that disproportionately affect the health of people living in resource-constrained countries. The ICIDR program is intended to support research requiring access to populations of infected human and other mammalian hosts, parasites, and vectors limited or unavailable in the U.S. and other developed countries. Therefore, the majority of research supported under the ICIDR program must be conducted at foreign sites with an emphasis on field and clinical studies of endemic diseases. A non-U.S investigator at the foreign site will serve as a Major Foreign Collaborator (MFC). The MFC must be listed as key personnel and have a primary appointment at a collaborating institution in an eligible foreign country. The MFC must have a significant role in the design, implementation, monitoring, and administrative management of the research projects. |
