Grants

Applications are being accepted for the Herman Frasch Fund for Chemical Research Grants in Agricultural Chemistry for 2012–17. These grants support projects promising practical benefit to agricultural development in the U.S. Competitions for Frasch grants occur at five-year intervals. The American Chemical Society provides administrative support to the Frasch trustee, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, for this grant program.

Tenured or tenure-track faculty in the first seven years of their first academic appointment are eligible to apply. The ACS Committee on Frasch Foundation Grants expects to recommend approximately eight new grants of $50,000 per year for the five-year period. The 2012–17 grants will begin on July 1, 2012.

Application forms are available at www.acs.org/frasch. Completed applications must be e-mailed to Frasch@acs.org by 5 PM EDT on Oct. 28.
