Description
The American Chemical Society (ACS) supports professional development endeavors that advance its Core Value of Inclusion and Belonging within Student Chapters, International Student Chapters, and Graduate Student Organizations (GSOs). Funding can support courses, training, materials, and other professional development opportunities that help people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences thrive within ACS student communities.
The program favors impactful activities supported by a well-reasoned use of funds. Proposals should explain the inclusion needs of their intended audience, identify non-dominant groups and barriers to their representation and advancement in chemistry or at the university, and describe how the activity addresses those barriers. Applicants also explain who participates in planning, whether representatives of an outside community will be involved, and how success will be assessed.
