The American Chemical Society’s Committee on Chemical Technical Professionals administers this award to support leadership development for chemical technicians and chemists. It covers participation in an ACS Leadership Development System course at an ACS Meeting, providing professional development rather than funding a research project. Recipients choose the leadership course they wish to take.
The committee describes the program as supporting courses during spring or fall ACS national meetings. The published 2026 offering supported attendance at the ACS Fall Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, with reimbursement for the course and specified travel expenses. ACS Meeting registration is required to participate in leadership courses. The eligibility rules below reflect that published Chicago-based offering.
