ACS & NSF

Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry faculty continually pursue funding for teaching and research

In addition to numerous internal grants, department faculty seek external grant funding to support both teaching and research. Listed below are grants funded by the National Science Foundation and projects with the American Chemical Society.

ACS & NSF

  1. ACS Books - NMR Spectra Database

    A web site devoted to NMR spectra that mentors can assign NMR problems to their students to solve as unknowns.

  2. NSF - MRI Grant

    This MRI grant supported the purchase of a high performance liquid chromatograph with a photodiode array detector and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS), which is the first instrument of its type to be housed at a university in southern Colorado.

  3. NSF - NMR Project

    "Guided Inquiry Experiments with Fourier Transform NMR Spectroscopy (FT-NMR)"

    Guided inquiry experiments were developed for introductory general and organic chemistry courses that use NMR spectroscopic analysis as an integrated hands-on method that provides evidence essential for reaching conclusions from the experiments.

  4. NSF - REU Project

    "Green Chemistry in Colorful Colorado"

    NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program NSF CHE-1156932

    This REU program promotes summer research projects in green chemistry for students from other institutions.

  5. NSF - Vernier Project

    "Discovery Experiments as a Vehicle for Enhanced Learning"

    Research suggests that relatively little conceptual learning occurs in undergraduate science labs. This problem is to be addressed by initiating a coordinated program of discovery experiments as the centerpiece of a plan to transform the undergraduate chemistry laboratory program at UCCS.
