The program encourages multidisciplinary collaboration between its researchers and supports research that encompasses different types of catalysts, catalytic processes, and techniques, which will be described in more detail below. In addition to research grants, the Catalysis Science Program supports research centers and workshops as other mechanisms for sharing knowledge and fostering collaboration.

The Catalysis Science Program staff says that it does not have a fixed target allocation of singleinvestigator versus multi-investigator projects; however, multi-investigator and multidisciplinary collaboration is encouraged and is often specified in requests for applications. Facilities In fulfillment of its mission, BES plans, constructs, and operates user facilities that are available for academic, national laboratory, and industrial scientists.

14 F F The Catalysis Science Program is the largest federal supporter of fundamental research in heterogeneous and homogenous catalysis in the United States and has sponsored research activities through more than 1,000 research grants in universities and national laboratories since FY 1999; the current average funding is $235,000 per year for three years. 15 To support individual F F investigator and small-group research grants, the Catalysis Science Program conducts workshops.
