Description
The Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh’s Starter Grant supports high-quality, innovative research by beginning chemistry professors. Its goal is to promote the training and development of graduate students in spectroscopy and analytical chemistry, connecting support for research with the development of students working in the proposed field of study.
The program considers both the scientific contribution of a project and its impact on graduate students. Proposals are assessed for scientific merit, potential impact on analytical chemistry or spectroscopy, contribution to graduate student development, and demonstrated need for funding. Applicants must explain that need in detail and disclose all current funding, including startup funds.
