The ACS Green Chemistry Institute® is pleased to announce the opening of the 2018 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. The U.S. EPA supports the continuation of the awards program for 2018 under the sponsorship of the ACS GCI. To ensure continuity, the awards categories and guidelines are remaining the same, only the timing of the awards cycle is changing, and the ACS GCI will be managing the awards program and making final decisions about award winners.
As in past years, an independent scientific panel convened by ACS GCI will be making recommendations for the award winners, with the final decisions for each award category chosen by members of the ACS GCI Advisory Board.
Estimated Timeline:
- Submissions accepted from April 30, 2018 through July 2, 2018
- Award winners notified no later than August 31, 2018
- Awards ceremony to be held in Washington, D.C. on October 2018
The award guidelines and nomination package will be posted on the ACS GCI website by April 30, 2018, and these will follow the same guidelines as in previous years. Interested parties are encouraged to begin the process for submission as soon as possible.
