Engineering (ENG): Chemical, Bioengineering, Energy, and Transport Systems (CBET)

NSF supports foundational engineering across chemical process systems; biological and biomedical systems; energy, water and resource engineering; and transport phenomena. Topics include chemical and biochemical processing of fuels and materials, resource management, fluid interfaces, thermodynamics, thermal transport and combustion. Projects integrate physical, chemical and biological science with engineering and may use scientifically justified AI, computation and automation. Standard or continuing grants support varied research scopes and durations under the solicitation and NSF proposal policies.

Organizations eligible under NSF PAPPG Chapter I.E. The solicitation specifies no additional PI or co-PI eligibility limits and no limits on proposals per organization or PI.
