When and how can researchers apply for the 2027–32 Herman Frasch Fund grants, and what is the application window?

Researchers can submit applications for the 2027–32 Herman Frasch Fund for Chemical Research grants in agricultural chemistry between October 1 and November 5. The American Chemical Society (ACS) administers the program on behalf of the Frasch trustee, Bank of America, and accepts applications exclusively during this defined five-week period.

Who is eligible to apply for the Herman Frasch Fund grants, and what are the key eligibility criteria?

Eligible applicants are tenured or tenure-track faculty members who are within the first seven years of their first academic appointment. This criterion is explicitly required by the ACS Committee on Frasch Foundation Grants, and no other categories of researchers—such as postdoctoral scholars, industry scientists, or non-tenure-track faculty—are mentioned as qualifying in the announcement.
