The ECO-CBET solicitation supports fundamental research activities that develop foundational knowledge underlying processes and mechanisms to design innovative new materials, processes, and systems. Projects should be compelling and reflect sustained, coordinated efforts from highly interdisciplinary research teams. A key objective of the solicitation is to encourage dialogue and tightly integrated collaborations wherein members of the chemical process systems, transport phenomena, and bioengineering research communities engage with environmental engineering and sustainability experts to spark innovation and arrive at unanticipated solutions.
