Deadline: Ongoing

Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to support research, education and community initiatives within the chemical sciences, with a focus on advancing knowledge, strengthening learning and encouraging outreach. It’s available to a range of eligible applicants—such as nonprofit institutions, educational organizations, student chapters, teachers and qualified individuals—typically based in the U.S., but in some cases with international participation also possible. The fund supports activities such as fundamental research (for example in petroleum/fossil fuels or agriculture), student-chapter projects, teacher professional development and community outreach in chemistry.
Funds may be used to help establish or expand research programs, purchase needed supplies or equipment, support student travel or chapter events, strengthen teaching activities or launch new initiatives in sustainability or green chemistry. The intent is to enable the recipient to pursue a meaningful advance—whether by exploring a new research direction, engaging students and educators in chemistry, launching a local outreach project, or building capacity in a department or organization.
The grant is open to nonprofits (colleges, universities, schools), educational groups and in some cases student organizations or clubs. Small business applicants are generally not the primary target unless aligned with the chemistry education or research mission. Eligibility often requires that the institution be incorporated or recognized as nonprofit, that the project align with the organization’s priorities and that applicant groups meet membership or charter requirements (especially for student chapter grants).
Award amounts vary according to the role and scope of the project: smaller sums for student-chapter or outreach grants, larger amounts for more substantial research grants. Deadlines vary by program and some cycles may occur annually, while others follow alternate schedules. Applicants are encouraged to carefully review the specific program details, ensure alignment with the funding priorities and prepare an application that clearly outlines project goals, budget and intended outcomes.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Massachusetts that are actively involved in Teachers. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
