Description
The Herman Frasch Foundation Grants fund research projects in agricultural chemistry that offer practical benefits to agricultural development in the United States. Administered by Bank of America with guidance from the American Chemical Society, the program supports innovative chemical or biochemical research at nonprofit, doctoral-degree granting U.S. institutions. Projects are expected to provide significant opportunities for student training at the graduate, undergraduate, or postdoctoral level. Dissemination of research findings through publications and presentations is strongly encouraged. Research proposals focusing primarily on nutrition, agronomy, genetics, or entomology are generally not favored.
