Description
The Herman Frasch Foundation Grants, administered by the American Chemical Society, fund research projects in agricultural chemistry that offer tangible benefits to U.S. agriculture. The program is designed to stimulate advances in chemical or biochemical research relevant to agriculture, broadly interpreted, but with a preference for projects that do not primarily focus on nutrition, agronomy, genetics, or entomology. The grants aim to support the training of students at all academic levels and encourage the dissemination of research through publications and presentations.
