The Global Innovation Grant provides up to $5,000 annually to ACS International Chapters, Student Chapters, Local Sections, and Divisions to support travel, projects, and events that advance international collaborations addressing global challenges. Proposals must align with strategic priorities and cannot fund personal research or individual travel. Collaborative and co-sponsored submissions are especially encouraged. All funded activities must conclude by December 31 of the award year.
Eligible applicants include ACS International Chapters, International Student Chapters, Local Sections, Technical Divisions, and groups of international ACS members without a chapter. Individual members are not eligible.
