Description
The Fluid Dynamics
program supports fundamental research and education on mechanisms and phenomena
governing fluid flow. Proposed research should contribute to basic understanding;
thus enabling the better design; predictability; efficiency; and control of
systems that involve fluids. Encouraged are proposals that address
innovative uses of fluids in materials development; manufacturing;
biotechnology; nanotechnology; clinical diagnostics and drug delivery; sensor
development and integration; energy and the environment. While the research
should focus on fundamentals, a clear connection to potential application
should be outlined.
Current research
themes include:
The duration of
unsolicited awards is generally one to three years. The average annual
award size for the program is $90,000. Proposals requesting a
substantially higher amount than this, without prior consultation with the
Program Director, may be returned without review. Small equipment
proposals of less than $100,000 will also be considered and may be submitted
during the annual proposal submission window.
Innovative proposals
outside of these specific interest areas can be considered. However,
prior to submission, it is recommended that the PI contact the Program Director
to avoid the possibility of the proposal being returned without review.
