Description
The Division Innovative Project Grants (IPGs) program, administered by the ACS Divisional Activities Committee, is designed to foster innovation and collaboration within ACS technical divisions. The program supports the development and dissemination of new projects that serve division members, promote future strategic planning, and encourage partnerships between divisions or with other ACS governance groups. Priority is given to proposals that are collaborative, highly innovative, and have the potential to be scaled or adopted by other divisions. All projects must be completed within two years, and proposals for ongoing or previously funded programs are not eligible.
