ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable - Key Research Area Grants
These grants are open to applicants from any country.
The ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable identifies key research areas representing the pharmaceutical industry’s perspective on where advances in understanding would be most likely to yield more sustainable chemistries and processes of interest to pharma and allied industries. From these areas, the GCIPR selects a handful each year for Key Research Area Grants—currently a $80,000 award for a 12-month research commitment. Grant winners work closely with the GCIPR focus team that proposed the grant topic.
Confronting the interconnection of chemical pollution and climate change
Climate change and chemical pollution are interdependent planetary threats, but climate change mitigation efforts typically do not consider chemicals and materials. This may exacerbate chemical pollution and associated harm to human and environmental health. Because most chemicals and materials are currently derived from petrochemicals, the extraction of fossil fuels cannot be limited without transitioning chemical manufacturing to different carbon sources. However, simply changing the carbon source is insufficient and could exacerbate the biodiversity crisis.
