The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), via its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is offering a grant for an interdisciplinary center focused on the sustainable molecular design of chemicals. The center will develop parameters and strategies to establish design criteria for creating intrinsically less hazardous substances. The goal is to generate novel chemicals that minimize or eliminate potential environmental and human health impacts throughout their lifecycle. This includes discovering correlations between inherent chemical properties and adverse effects, driving the development of improved methods for designing next-generation, safer chemicals.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for an interdisciplinary center focusing on the sustainable molecular design of chemicals. The aim of the center will be to develop a set of parameters and strategies that will establish design criteria regarding the properties of chemicals that will lead to the development of intrinsically less hazardous substances when compared to those currently used in society. These newly acquired criteria and design principles will direct researchers towards the generation of novel chemicals that will minimize, and preferably eliminate, associated potential environmental and human health impacts that may occur during the life cycle of that chemical. The advent of these novel chemicals and their respective discovery of correlations between a chemicals inherent properties and their adverse impacts require the development of improved methods for the design of next generation chemicals. |
