Description
The American Chemical Society supports early- and mid-career investigators spending 6–12 months in a private company laboratory, national laboratory, or academic laboratory at another institution. The grant enables training in a new research direction, collaboration across disciplines or between academia and industry, and mentorship distinct from the investigator’s prior mentors.
The program aims to reduce the risks of bold research pivots that require expertise beyond an established research group’s focus. It supports research and teaching directly related to green and sustainable chemistry, with potential to expand basic knowledge and stimulate further research. Part of the ACS Campaign for a Sustainable Future, the program encourages research and teaching portfolios that contribute to transformative chemistry addressing the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
