Up to two awards of $10,000 and one award of $5,000 per cycle; typically one-year projects.

Supports faculty-led undergraduate research in analytical chemistry at U.S. colleges without graduate chemical sciences programs.

--- ## Description This grant supports chemistry faculty at U.S. colleges and universities that do not have graduate programs in the chemical sciences, enabling them to conduct innovative undergraduate research in analytical chemistry. The primary aim is to advance the field of analytical chemistry while providing meaningful research experiences and professional development for undergraduate students. Funding is intended mainly for student stipends or tuition remuneration related to research, with a limited allowance for minor equipment and materials. The program emphasizes scientific merit, the advancement of analytical chemistry, and the training and development of students. --- ## Due Dates - November 1, 2025 (full application submission deadline) - November 1, 2026 (anticipated full application submission deadline) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Up to two grants of $10,000 and one grant of $5,000 are awarded per cycle. - Funds are intended for one-year research projects. - Funding is primarily for undergraduate student stipends or tuition related to research. - No more than 40% of the total request may be allocated to equipment and materials (including chemicals); requests exceeding this threshold will not be considered. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be chemistry faculty at U.S. colleges or universities **without graduate programs in the chemical sciences**. - Faculty at branch campuses of universities with graduate programs may apply **if only undergraduate programs are offered at the branch campus**. - Applicants must be conducting or planning to conduct research in analytical chemistry with undergraduate students. - Past awardees are ineligible to apply again for a period of three years following their grant. - Grants are **not** intended for equipment acquisition; only a small portion of the budget may be used for minor equipment and materials. - Funds cannot be used for travel, personal expenses, or faculty salaries. --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted according to instructions on the [grant program page](https://chemistryoutreach.org/awards-grants/grants/pittcon-undergraduate-analytical-research-program-award-uarp/). - Proposals should address scientific merit, impact on the field, student development, and demonstrate a need for funding. - Required application materials typically include a project description, budget, and justification. - Funds are paid to the recipient’s department and must be managed in a research account free from overhead deductions. - Recipients are required to submit an annual report on the use of funds, including supporting images, until all funding is expended. - SACP funding must be acknowledged in all resulting publications. --- ## Additional Information - Students may receive either a research stipend or tuition remuneration for research credits, but not both. - Funds from this grant may **not** be combined with other SACP or Pittsburgh Conference-sponsored programs for equipment purchases. - The grant is competitive; selection is based on scientific merit, impact, student development, and demonstrated need. --- ## External Links - [Program Page and Application Instructions](https://chemistryoutreach.org/awards-grants/grants/pittcon-undergraduate-analytical-research-program-award-uarp/) - [Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP)](https://chemistryoutreach.org) - [Contact SACP](https://chemistryoutreach.org/societies/contact/) --- ## Contact Information | Contact | Details | |------------------------|-------------------------------------------------| | Email | [info@chemistryoutreach.org](mailto:info@chemistryoutreach.org) | | Phone | (412) 825-3220, ext. 208 | | Mailing Address | 2150 Eldo Road, Monroeville, PA 15146, USA | | Online Contact Form | [Contact SACP](https://chemistryoutreach.org/societies/contact/) |
