Description: Up to $5,000 USD will be awarded to Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) Signing Institutions to support travel or green chemistry projects that advance the teaching and learning of green chemistry. These may include conference travel, curriculum redesign across multiple courses, faculty training initiatives, outreach events, or broad implementation of the GCC Student Learning Objectives. All proposals should include a clear plan for implementation, including specific objectives, activities, and timeline, with specifications about how the funding will be used to advance meaningful and measurable progress toward green chemistry education goals.

Eligibility: Any higher education institution from around the world who are part of Beyond Benign’s Green Chemistry Commitment (GCC) program are eligible to apply for this grant. Grantees can submit applications, prior to signing the GCC, but only those that signed the commitment by their proposal submission will have their proposals considered. This funding call is open to faculty, students and staff with direct affiliations to Chemistry, Engineering, and/or Science departments. Cross-department collaborations are encouraged, but all applications must include at least one chemistry faculty member.

Funding Level: Up to $5,000 USD each
