Nominations are now being accepted for the Rochester ACS Section’s “Covid-19 Modified” Travel Grant Program. Because the 2021 ACS Spring National Meeting is being held virtually, the Section is offering grants in the amount of the registration fee to undergraduate students who will present their research at an ACS sponsored conference. Student registrations for the Spring National Meeting are $29. Meeting registration opens later in January, but the deadline for Abstracts is Tuesday, January 19.

Submit an Abstract by January 19

If you are interested in the registration fee grant, please complete this Google Form (AFTER submitting your abstract!) The only criteria are that you are presenting your research, are in good academic standing at an institution in the Rochester Local Section, and that your research advisor supports your participation. ACT NOW! First, submit your abstract by January 19, and then complete the Google Form by March 1, 2021. The regular Travel Grant Program, which provides $400 subsidies for student presenters, will resume when ACS meetings are again held in person.
