Innovative Project Grants for Divisional Enhancement
Sponsored by the Council Committee on Divisional Activities (DAC)

Division Innovative Project Grant (IPG) Application Form

Please note an important change for joint IPGs is that divisions only need to submit one application and the total funding available is more if submitted as a joint proposal. Grant funding will not be considered for ongoing projects or for projects that will take place at the ACS National Meeting when funding decisions are made. Only proposals describing new projects will be considered for support. The purpose of IPGs is to “seed” new ideas; funding does not support the continuation of existing programs or projects. Please refer to the Division IPG webpage for complete programmatic guidelines.
