The American Chemical Society’s Global Innovation Grant supports internationally collaborative and innovative activities and events led by ACS units, especially International Chapters. Sponsored by the ACS Committee on International Activities (IAC), the program funds projects, events, and associated travel that advance IAC strategic interests and priorities and catalyze new partnerships dedicated to solutions to global challenges.
The program encourages collaboration among International Chapters, International Student Chapters, ACS Divisions, and Local Sections. Its emphasis is on activities that connect ACS groups rather than benefit individual members. Co-sponsored submissions involving Divisions, Local Sections, or Committees working with International Chapters receive special consideration.
