Overview

Purpose

The American Chemical Society (ACS) PrepareCTP Seed Grant aims to support partnership building at community colleges and similar two-year degree-granting institutions, focusing on preparing skilled technical workers (STW) in the chemical enterprise, termed chemical technical professionals (CTPs). The grant program will support student stipends/scholarships, faculty workload release, instrumentation purchases, and other activities suitable for preparing and recruiting chemical technical professionals and establishing partnerships with chemistry-related employers in the awarded institution’s community.

Description

ACS is dedicated to fostering a diverse and skilled technical workforce in the chemical industry. The PrepareCTP Seed Grant aligns with ACS's Strategic Initiative for Fostering a Skilled Technical Workforce, focusing on recruiting and engaging a diverse group of students and potential employees for the chemical industry. The grant supports community colleges in training chemical technical professionals by providing funds for student support, internships, instrumentation, and faculty workload release. Eligible activities include stipends, internships, equipment purchases, and partnership building with local businesses.

Funding Levels

The program will provide several awards for an initial pilot program in fiscal year 2024. Awards must have a maximum budget not exceeding $20,000 for one year.
