About this opportunity
The Chemistry of Life Processes (CLP) Program supports experimental and theoretical studies at the interface of chemistry and biology. The proposed fundamental research must be centered on chemistry and the proposal must clearly outline the anticipated new chemistry knowledge generated by the research. The proposed research projects also need to advance the fundamental understanding of the molecular underpinnings of life processes and directly address biologically relevant questions. The scope of the program is broad, reflecting the power of chemistry and diversity of biology. Subject areas include bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry; chemical biology; chemistry of lipids, membranes, and membrane proteins; and protein, enzyme, nucleic acid, and carbohydrate chemistry. Development of chem...
