Best Chemistry Grants in Oregon

Focused on fundamental scientific research, this opportunity invites early-career, tenure-track chemistry and related-field faculty at degree-granting institutions in Oregon (and across the U.S. and Canada) to apply for Alfred P Sloan Foundation’s support. The two-year fellowships provide US $75,000 for research expenses, including staffing, travel, lab costs, equipment, or summer salary.

Oregon chemistry graduate students and early postdoctoral researchers in fundamental chemical sciences or chemical instrumentation can access funding through the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation, with awards ranging from US $224,000 - US $542,000. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or DACA recipients pursuing mentored postdoctoral research at qualifying U.S. nonprofit institutions.

With a mission to foster U.S.–Poland educational exchange, Kosciuszko Foundation provides American graduate students of Polish descent, including those in chemistry, with tuition scholarships of US $1,000 - US $12,000. Eligible students in Oregon and nationwide pursuing full-time master’s or Ph.D. studies in the U.S. or English medical schools in Poland may apply.

Early-career, tenure-track chemistry and chemical sciences faculty at U.S. bachelor’s- or higher-degree institutions, including those in Oregon, can receive US $100,000 in unrestricted research funding through the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Awards Program. With a mission to advance chemical sciences education and research, the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation supports innovative scholarship and strong teaching, particularly at Ph.D.-granting departments.

Research institutions and independent faculty in Oregon conducting collaborative cardiovascular or cerebrovascular projects with a chemistry or other disparate-discipline partner can access funding through American Heart Association’s Collaborative Sciences Award. U.S.-based nonprofit institutions may receive US $750,000 over three years to support multi-PI, cross-disciplinary basic, clinical, population, behavioral, or translational research teams.

Nonprofit organizations working on environmental chemistry-related issues in Oregon can access funding through the Roy A Hunt Foundation’s Environment Initiative Grants. The foundation provides US $25,000 - US $75,000 for multi-state or national projects on climate and energy, toxics and waste, and clean water, including education, applied research, and policy-oriented innovations benefiting the U.S.

Small U.S. college science departments teaching undergraduate chemistry or biology can seek up to US $10,000 to buy laboratory equipment, teaching aids, or library materials that enhance instruction. The Pittsburgh Conference (Pittcon) prioritizes proposals from institutions, including those in Oregon, with enrollments under 5,000 and strong plans to integrate equipment broadly into coursework.

Organizations planning chemistry or related biomedical congresses, events, or initiatives in Oregon can seek sponsorship that provides Biogen with reasonable marketing or recognition benefits. Biogen Foundation considers U.S. requests across chemistry, pharmacology, neurology, and related disease areas, evaluating fit with its interests, event details, and geographic location on a rolling basis.

Oregon chemistry and molecular biosciences researchers can access funding through the National Science Foundation for fundamental studies in molecular and cellular biology. Projects may address molecular biophysics, genetic mechanisms, cellular dynamics and function, or systems and synthetic biology, including high‑risk, potentially transformative research that integrates chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, or mathematics.

The Mentored Quantitative Research Development Award (K25) aims to engage skilled professionals in NIH-relevant research, enhancing their expertise in addressing health-related issues. This award supports individuals with backgrounds in quantitative sciences and engineering, providing them with dedicated time for supervised research and study. Key application deadlines span from June 2024 to February 2027, emphasizing the program's commitment to fostering innovative research in health and disease.

Young and mid-career MD/PhD principal investigators in chemical biology at nominated institutions in Oregon and across North America can apply for Ono Pharma Foundation’s Ono Initiative, with awards up to US $1,035,000 over three years. Funding supports innovative, high-impact chemical biology research that bridges chemistry and biology to advance human health.
