Our team, together with Prof. Xi Chen of Chemical Engineering CCNY & CUNY Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC), were awarded the ASRC Seed grant to research a novel anti-frost material for various engineering applications.
The Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) Collaborative Seed Grant Program provides funding to any CUNY researchers pursuing interdisciplinary STEM projects that strive to inform and potentially lead to improved human, societal, and environmental well-being in the years to come. We seek to support creative, collaborative, and convergent research that addresses complex questions relevant to the most pressing and timely challenges in STEM. A primary goal is also to seed research that will become the basis for new external funding. As such, submissions that have a clearly defined research question and a goal to collect critical preliminary data for a specifically identified future granting agency and call for proposals will be prioritized.
The program encourages proposals that leverage the ASRC’s five Initiatives (Nanoscience, Photonics, Structural Biology, Neuroscience, and Environmental Sciences), 17 core facilities, and their analytical and human resources through collaboration.
