Proposal narrative

Long-form application text, sustainability framing, and relevance statement.

The project uses model-guided candidate ranking followed by experimental validation to accelerate catalyst iteration. Strategic value is high, but current reviewer coverage is somewhat narrow and would benefit from one additional specialist.

Sustainability

The project supports low-carbon ammonia production by improving catalyst discovery workflows.

Relevance to WISE

The project addresses Energy and Discovery crossing points in the WISE matrix.

Ethics and incidents

Use the review forms to raise possible conflicts or concerns for the chair and Program Office.

No special ethics approval expected. Chemical safety review required before project start.
