The American Chemical Society (ACS) announces a portfolio of strategic initiatives designed to have a transformational impact on the chemistry enterprise.

During the coming five years, ACS will invest up to $50 million in four initiatives, each of which embodies ACS’ commitment to advance the broader chemistry enterprise and its practitioners for the benefit of Earth and all its people.

The portfolio of strategic initiatives focuses on enabling a sustainable future, ensuring a skilled technical workforce and enhancing scientific data collections.

“Our intent is that this investment will result in dramatic change that has an important and lasting impact for chemistry and the chemistry enterprise,” says Paul W. Jagodzinski, Chair of the ACS Board of Directors, on behalf of the Board members.

“Through these strategic initiatives and all of our activities, we continue to work toward achieving the ACS vision of improving all people’s lives through the transforming power of chemistry.”
