2025 SIRA Award for Innovative Battery Research in the USA and Canada Using Chromatography Techniques
Now accepting applications
The Agilent Solutions Innovation Research Award (SIRA) program is excited to announce a new call for proposals for groundbreaking research on battery technology in the United States and Canada. We invite submissions that leverage advanced techniques such as gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and gel permeation chromatography to explore cutting-edge advancements in battery, energy conversion, energy storage, and battery recycling research. Selected projects will receive Agilent's analytical instrument support in 2025 to drive impactful and innovative research in these critical fields.
Three individual SIRA awards will be made for this call and will include a free one-year loan of one of the following state-of-the art analytical instruments including installation and technical support. :
For Award #1: one gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system (selecting from Single Quadrupole GC/MS, Triple Quadrupole GC/MS, or Quadrupole Time-of-Flight GC/MS to best suit your applications)
For Award #2: one liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) system (selecting from Single Quadrupole LC/MS, Triple Quadrupole LC/MS, or Quadrupole Time-of-Flight LC/MS to best suit your applications)
For Award #3: one gel permeation chromatography/size exclusion chromatography (GPC/SEC) system
The proposal form, which contains a concise project proposal tailored for a one-year project that integrates the chosen analytical technology, is submitted for consideration. Only principal investigators from degree-granting academic institutions and non-profit research organizations in the United States of America and Canada are eligible to apply to this SIRA program.
