Eligibility
The Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse invites submissions for our Ken Zarker Award for Students and Early Career Professionals.
The Ken Zarker Award supports the participation of students and early career professionals in attending a green chemistry, toxics use reduction, or alternative assessment conference or workshop that occurs between January 1 and December 31. These events can be state, regional, or national in scale; they must have a minimum of one session on green chemistry, alternatives assessment (AA), toxics use reduction, pollution prevention (P2), or safer alternatives.
Award(s) of either $500 or $1,000 will help support expenses associated with participating in conferences or workshops. Applicants will be asked to provide estimated expenses, e.g., transportation, lodging, registration fees, and food.
Award recipients will be expected to share their conference or workshop experiences with their networks after attending. Award recipients should provide a description of how they will share what they learned after the conference or workshop in their application.
Application Deadline: The first deadline for applications is December 20th (the year preceding the conference year), but if we still have award funds available, we will review the next applications after the March 31 (the year of the conference) deadline*.
Levels: Undergraduate, Graduate, Postdoc, Early Career Professional
