SYNOPSIS

The American Competitiveness in Chemistry-Fellowship program is a program to support postdoctoral associates in chemistry.� It seeks to (1) build ties between academic and industrial, and/or national laboratory, and/or Chemistry Division-funded center researchers (partners) and (2) involve beginning scientists in efforts to broaden participation in chemistry.� Fellows will pursue research with industrial, and/or national laboratory, and/or Chemistry Division-funded center partners that will enrich their in-house research program.� In addition, fellows will develop and implement their own plans for broadening participation in the chemical sciences.� Successful applicants must propose a well-integrated, synergistic research plan with their chosen affiliate as well as an effective outreach plan that will broaden participation by underrepresented groups in chemistry.� The research must be in a thematic area that is supported by the NSF Division of Chemistry.���
The Program will support Fellows for two years of postgraduate study.� The Chemistry Division envisions that Postdoctoral Fellows with successful programs who pursue careers in academia will have opportunities for significant additional funding, either through supplements to their original ACC-F award, or through new awards from the Division.� Future revisions of this solicitation will expand the scope of this program to other beginning scientists, pending availability of funds.
