Paragraphs

 provides funding for:

  • Single-investigator and collaborative faculty research projects
  • Instrumentation and tools that are shared by multiple faculty members
  • Funding for faculty members to pursue research as visiting scientists at other institutions

 is designed to support research in the natural sciences at private, predominantly undergraduate colleges and universities.

  • Principal investigator must either hold at least a two‐year faculty appointment in a natural science department, such as biology, chemistry, earth science or geology, astronomy, and physics; or be a member of a department of environmental science doing research on biological systems or organisms; or be a member of a psychology department or its equivalent, doing laboratory neuroscience research. 
  • Provides funds for minor equipment and supplies and student  and faculty summer stipends
     

offers several programs that support research.

provides “seed” funding for significant research that will enhance the professional and scholarly development of early career scientists. The principal investigator must have a faculty appointment in a department of astronomy, chemistry or physics, or, if from another department, propose research that significantly overlaps with research in one of these three disciplines. At the time of application the applicant must be within the first three years of his/her first tenure-track appointment, and within 12 years of receiving his/her doctoral degree.

funds early career faculty in the physical sciences and related fields who are committed to excellence in both research and undergraduate teaching at U.S. research universities.

is an endowed fund, managed by the American Chemical Society (ACS), that supports fundamental research directly related to petroleum or fossil fuels at nonprofit institutions (generally colleges and universities) in the United States and other countries. Grants are intended as seed money, to enable an investigator to initiate a new research direction.

is an endowed fund, managed by the American Chemical Society (ACS), that supports the research programs of established scientists and engineers at non-doctoral departments and provides financial support for students at those institutions to become involved in advanced research activities, in preparation for continued study in graduate school or employment.
