Forecasted
Convergent Chemistry Communities Grant supports ACS Divisions and members in building multidisciplinary communities around emerging science and technology to address changing needs in chemistry.
Funder: American Chemical Society
Due Dates (Anticipated): July 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Up to $30,000 for activities over 1–2 years; funds must be spent within two years
Summary: Supports ACS Divisions in forming new multidisciplinary communities around emerging science and technology topics.
Key Information: At least two ACS Divisions must agree to form the community; one Division receives the funds initially.
Description
The American Chemical Society’s Convergent Chemistry Communities (CCC) Grant supports new collaborations among ACS Divisions and members around emerging science and technology themes or highly multidisciplinary topics. It targets areas not adequately addressed by existing Divisional activities or other funding mechanisms, helping ACS respond to changing needs across the chemical enterprise.
Supported communities must go beyond collaborative programming to include activities such as workshops, discussion groups, panel discussions, or community-specific websites and databases. The program emphasizes new interactions across Divisions, coordination that reduces duplication in programming, and diverse, inclusive communities. Participating Divisions are encouraged to engage people beyond their current membership and plan how the community will continue beyond the funding period.
