Overview
The CIBA/YCC Young Scientist Travel Award supports young chemists under 40 years of age to attend ACS meetings. This funding initiative promotes the professional development of early-career scientists by offering financial assistance for travel, registration, and accommodations. The award, which can reach up to $1,000, prioritizes applicants who are making their first presentation at an ACS meeting or who have not presented at major scientific meetings since completing their degrees.
Purpose
To provide funding for young and early-career chemists to travel to and participate in an ACS meeting.
Description
The ACS Younger Chemists Committee (YCC) and the CIBA Foundation are proud to support the CIBA/YCC Young Scientist Travel Award and the development of younger chemists in the chemical sciences.
This award provides funding for young and early-career chemists to travel to and participate in an ACS Meeting or Regional Meeting. YCC and the CIBA Foundation congratulate the outstanding past CIBA/YCC Young Scientist Travel Award winners.
CIBA/YCC Young Scientist Travel Awards are issued twice a year but the number of awards granted yearly will vary subject to available funding. Awards are made on the basis of scientific merit and financial need. Funds may be applied only for registration, travel, and accommodations and are restricted to traveling to ACS Meetings or Regional Meetings.
Each travel award will be up to $1,000. In additional to financial support, the award provides networking opportunities for recipients who attend an ACS Meeting or Regional Meeting.
