ACS PrepareCTP Grant

Up to USD 20,000 for a one-year project at a US two-year college preparing chemical technical professionals. Projects can provide student stipends or scholarships, work-based learning, employer partnerships, equipment, instrumentation, curriculum development or faculty time to strengthen chemistry-related workforce pathways. Activities serving transfer-student populations are excluded. Applications opened 23 July and close 7 October 2026; the award period is January–December 2027, with project starts no later than 31 May. Submit through the official call’s linked grant platform, including project summary, narrative, budget, justification and personnel biosketches.

Accredited US two-year colleges offering associate degrees, certificates or workforce training aligned with chemical technical careers. Faculty or administrators must lead relevant chemistry-related programmes, though a chemistry degree is not required. Prior FY24–FY26 awardees may apply for new or continuing work; separate campuses may submit separately.
