100 grants of $25K each available for impacted grad students
At ACS Fall 2025, Chair of the ACS Board of Directors, Wayne E. Jones, Jr., announced that ACS will award $2.5 million in the form of 100 $25,000 grants.
This will support graduate students within one year of degree completion who have been impacted by the termination or cancellation of their advisor’s research grants.

Starting Monday, Sept. 15, principal investigators can apply for the funds. The grant seeks to lower the risk of a declining number of U.S.-trained chemists with advanced degrees, thereby preserving the strength and continuity of the scientific community.

ADVANCE YOURSELF & YOUR SCIENCE
|
|
|
|
Are you ready to launch or elevate your academic career in green and sustainable chemistry? ACS is offering two transformative funding opportunities designed to support early and mid-career researchers committed to advancing sustainability through innovative science and education.
Award: Up to $125,000
|
|
|

This grant is tailored for postdoctoral fellows or newly appointed faculty (starting no earlier than August 2024) who are preparing to establish their own independent research group. The funding supports a postdoctoral associate for two years, helping to build a strong foundation for a new lab focused on green and sustainable chemistry.
Award: $50,000
Designed for early to mid-career faculty planning a sabbatical in 2026, this grant supports cross-disciplinary training and collaboration at a different institution, company, or national lab. It’s a unique opportunity to pivot your research toward sustainability challenges and build robust industry-academic partnerships.

Imagine a marble that’s not quite solid, not quite liquid — just weirdly wonderful. These “liquid marbles” were discovered in 2001 and quickly became a science sensation. Enter George Zaidan, who stumbles on the original paper and, in a burst of enthusiasm, thinks he might be onto something totally new.
|
|
|
|
One tiny detail he misses? The paper’s been cited more than 1,300 times. Oops. But here’s the twist: While trying to reinvent the wheel, George actually makes a surprising discovery of his own! Check it out in our latest Reactions video >>>
