The Student Chapter Outreach Grant, administered by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB), is designed to empower ASBMB Student Chapters to expand their impact through creative science outreach initiatives. The grant supports the development and execution of programs that foster community engagement and promote biochemistry and molecular biology to local audiences. Funded projects may include hands-on demonstrations, lab visits, science fairs, science cafés (virtual or in-person), and other outreach activities that extend educational opportunities beyond campus boundaries. Proposals are encouraged to prioritize accessibility, sustainability, and broad reach, with a preference for activities engaging audiences outside the university.
