Description
This program funds research in agricultural chemistry that delivers practical benefits to agricultural development in the United States. Supported by the Herman Frasch Foundation and administered by the American Chemical Society (ACS), the grant encourages projects that are primarily chemical or biochemical in nature, broadly interpreting "agricultural chemistry." The program expects funded projects to provide training opportunities for graduate, undergraduate, and/or postdoctoral students, and strongly encourages dissemination of research results through scientific publications and professional presentations. Acknowledgment of the Foundation's support is required in all resulting publications.
