Green Chemistry Grants

A primary objective of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute^® (ACS GCI) is to advance research in green chemistry by promoting funding, increasing opportunities, and developing information on the benefits of green chemistry. Our efforts span the spectrum from theory and basic research through application and commercialization of science and technology. ACS GCI also sponsors a number of research fellowships and scientific exchanges through our grants programs.

Grants

• 2012 ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable Research Grant for Greener Medicinal Chemistry
  Deadline for receipt of proposals is June 4, 2012 at 5 pm EDT. The Principal Investigator with the selected proposal will be notified by July 31, 2012. It is expected that research will commence in the principal investigator’s lab by October 2012 and last approximately 12 months. Proposals will be accepted from public and private institutions of higher education worldwide, and will provide alternative conditions to commonly used TM-catalyzed reactions that employ greener solvents/process flow that are applicable to a wide variety of substrates and use widely available catalysts/ligands. One grant is planned to be awarded and the total award is limited to $50,000 for a grant period of 12 months.
• ACS Petroleum Research Fund
  While the ACS Petroleum Research Fund does not have a specific category of green chemistry research, several green chemistry projects have been supported by PRF. The program welcomes applicants with high quality fundamental research in the petroleum or fossil fuels fields which may have a "green" focus.
• ACS GCI Petroleum Research Fund Grants Program
  NOTE: This program has been discontinued.
  ACS GCI has sponsored a green chemistry research grant program with funds allocated from the ACS Petroleum Research Fund. The program awarded research grants in 2007 and 2008 but has been discontinued for 2009 and beyond.
• GCI Developing and Emerging Nations Grants Program
  NOTE: This program has been discontinued.
  The GCI-DEN program provided seed grants to promote green chemistry in developing/emerging nations.
