Green chemistry has been described as a pivot for achieving sustainable development. As the world continues to grapple with global challenges of health, water, energy, poverty, sanitation etc., it is important that chemists continue to evolve greener techniques and innovations for solving these challenges.
Purpose:
The Peter J. Dunn Award was established in 2016 by the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable (ACS GCIPR) to recognize excellence in the research, development, and execution of green chemistry that demonstrates compelling environmental, safety, and efficiency improvements over current technologies in the pharmaceutical industry and its allied industrial partners. The inaugural award was given to Peter J. Dunn of Pfizer and subsequently named in his honor.
Purpose:
To recognize outstanding scientific discoveries that lay the foundation for environmentally-friendly products or manufacturing processes at a cost comparable to or less than that of current technologies or discoveries that deliver new applications with compelling cost/benefit profiles. To identify and recognize the discovery of new eco-friendly chemistries with the potential to enable products or manufacturing processes that are less expensive than existing alternatives.
Description:
Tools and metrics used by pharma, agriscience and animal health scientists to optimize their synthetic chemical processes and how to utilize these tools to make “greener” decisions.
Pricing: Free for Members
Dates: Mar 19 - Mar 19, 2024
Location: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
Purpose:
To address key synthetic chemistry and process research challenges whose solutions result in more efficient pharmaceutical process development and production.
Description:
This award will provide funding to early or mid-career investigators (Associate+) to spend 6-12 months in the laboratory of a private company, a national laboratory, or an academic laboratory in a different institution, with the goal of establishing robust collaborations across industry-academia or across disciplines and taking advantage of the mentorship of a faculty member distinct from their prior mentors.
The Heh-Won Chang, Ph.D. Fellowships provide financial support to full-time graduate students conducting research in green chemistry and/or engineering.
Description:
This award provides a post-doctoral fellow/associate or faculty in first 9 months of appointment who plans to launch an independent research career in academia, funds to support a post-doctoral associate/fellow for two years once their new research group is launched.
The DOZN™ tool is a quantitative, industry-first tool that uses the 12 principles of green chemistry for comparing the relative greenness of similar chemicals, synthetic routes, and chemical processes. We distill these 12 Principles of Green Chemistry into three major categories: improving resource use, more efficient use of energy, and minimizing human and environmental hazards.
The toolkit “Innovative Approaches for the Sound Management of Chemicals and Chemical Waste” (IAMC), developed in a framework of the UNIDO project*, aims to facilitate the implementation of innovations in the production and application of chemicals in order to reduce the consumption of chemicals, energy and water while improving the sound management of chemicals and reducing risks related to chemical accidents.
