Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 30 June 2031.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 28 October 2031.

Abstract

Conversion of low-value waste into valuable products using microbes can help strengthen the domestic supply of important chemicals. One such product is caproate, a medium-chain carboxylic acid used in fuels, animal feed, cosmetics, and other applications. However, making caproate from waste remains difficult. Challenges include low yields, poor selectivity, and unwanted byproducts. Synthetic microbial consortia,…
