Description
The Division Innovative Project Grants (IPGs) program, managed by the ACS Divisional Activities Committee (DAC), is designed to fund new and creative initiatives within ACS technical divisions. The grants aim to stimulate innovation, strategic planning, and collaboration among divisions and other ACS governance groups. Projects may include unique opportunities for division members, activities to recruit or retain members, collaborative efforts between divisions, adaptations of existing innovations, and strategic planning for divisional leadership. The program encourages proposals that can be completed within two years and that contribute to the long-term success and engagement of ACS Divisions.
