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

• ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable Research Grant
  The Roundtable is a partnership with the ACS Green Chemistry Institute^® and pharmaceutical corporations united by a shared commitment to integrate the principles of green chemistry and engineering into the business of drug discovery and production.
