Division Activities: Support for Meetings
The Division has a program to support symposia at Regional Meetings of the American Chemical Society, and Regional and National Conferences that feature the important developments in Biological Chemistry.
Grant Applications
The Division of Biological Chemistry awards grants of up to $1500 to support symposia at Regional ACS meetings and larger conferences. Members interested in applying for support from the division for a symposium or conference during 2008 should submit an outline for the event as an EMAIL attachment to Suzanne Walker (Suzanne_Walker@hms.harvard.edu) with the subject line “Meeting Support”. The application should include the following information:
Applications for support of symposia at Regional ACS Meetings
- Description of the symposium
- Dates and site of Regional ACS Meeting
- Number of one-half day sessions
- Tentative list of speakers
- Amount requested
- Contact information for organizer
Applications to support National Conferences.
- Name of conference
- Dates and site
- Brief description of conference
- Tentative list of speakers
- Amount requested
- Contact information for organizer
These proposals will be reviewed twice a year at the Division’s Business meetings, which are generally held during the Spring and Fall ACS meetings. The deadlines for receipt of applications are March 1 and August 1 for review at the Spring and Fall ACS meetings, respectively. These awards are intended to provide our members with new forums in which to present their work, and to support focused conferences on biochemistry/chemical biology. Proposals judged not meet these objectives, such as requests for blanket support of regional ACS meetings, are unlikely to be funded.
