The ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable identifies key synthetic chemistry and process research challenges whose solutions would result in more efficient pharmaceutical process development and production. To spur research in these areas, the Roundtable initiated a grant program in 2007 and has invested over $3.5 million (US) in research to date. New Request for Proposals (RFPs) are issued in the spring each year. This year’s application deadline is May 17, 2024, 5 p.m. EDT.
Women and members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

The topics for 2024 are:
- Alternatives to Halogenated Solvents in Organic Synthesis
Develop practical alternatives to halogenated solvents (e.g., new solvents, solvent combinations, solvent mixtures, computational modeling, recycling systems, etc.) - Data Science and Modeling Tools to Advance Green Chemistry & Engineering
Towards the development of computational tools that empower users to effectively design, implement, and evaluate green processes with reduced process mass intensity, waste, health and safety impact, and other aspirational improvements. - New Methods or Strategies for Greener Peptide Synthesis and/or Purification
Develop novel methods and strategies for improved solid phase peptide synthesis. - Sustainable Oligonucleotides Process Development
New technologies and/or optimization of existing methods to address the environmental challenges facing the current process of oligonucleotide manufacturing.
