Description
The Convergent Chemistry Communities (CCC) Grant is an initiative of the American Chemical Society (ACS) aimed at fostering collaboration among ACS Divisions and Members on multidisciplinary topics that are not adequately addressed by existing divisional activities or other funding mechanisms. The grant encourages the formation of new communities focused on emerging or important scientific areas, enabling rapid response to new science and technology themes. CCCs support a broad range of cooperative activities beyond traditional programming, including workshops, panel discussions, and the creation of CCC-specific resources. The primary goal is to coalesce interest and activities around innovative scientific topics, attract new members, and support the evolving needs of professionals in the chemical enterprise.
