In 2022, researchers in the department held 77 external research awards providing over $19.4M in funding.

The department is primarily housed in the connected buildings, Nieuwland Science Hall and Stepan Hall of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and in the newly opened McCourtney Hall of Molecular Science and Engineering. Departmental researchers also occupy significant space in Harper Hall, Raclin-Carmichael Hall, Stinson-Remick Hall, Fitzpatrick Hall, and the Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory.  Combined, this constitutes approximately 120,000 square feet of faculty research space. In addition, our faculty are integral users of the exceptional core facilities on campus.
