The Division of Environmental Chemistry has many members that serve in a technician position within the field of environmental chemistry. Many times the employers will send those in administrative positions to meetings so that they remain current. However, those in technician positions lack the resources to go and thus remain current (and marketable) in the field. With the market becoming ever increasingly tighter, it is important that our members stay current with new technologies and regulations. The grant will be used to offset registration and/or travel for Division members who are going to a meeting or workshop for the purpose of either learning a new aspect/technique in their field, to update their skill in a particular technique or to remain current in their field.
This is a pilot year for 2 years commencing with July 1, 2009 and ending July 1, 2011.
Proposal:
- $15,000 to be designated to fund the project.
- Each grant awarded will not exceed $500.
- A member can only receive 1 grant/year.
Requirements:
- Division of Environmental Chemistry Member
- Must be a member in good standing for at least 3 years residing in the U.S.
- Must have an Associates or Bachelors degree, but not an advance degree.
- May not be a student pursuing a degree.
- Must be employed in the field of environmental chemistry full-time.
- Must have support from their employer to attend the meeting/workshop, such as time off.
- Must provide a short report showing verification that the course/meeting was attended and/or taken.
