Research Travel Grants The Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) offers small travel grants to enable interested individuals to make use of the research resources of the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry, the Othmer Library of Chemical History, and its associated facilities. Grants, which may be used for travel, subsistence, and copying costs, will not normally exceed $500, though individuals traveling internationally may be considered for grants up to $1000. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a one page statement on the research proposed and the applicability of area resources, and a budget. In addition, applicants should arrange for two letters of reference to be sent directly to CHF. Research Travel Grants are made possible through the generosity of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC).

Public education programs and academic initiatives are undertaken through the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry. They include traveling exhibits, oral histories, high-school teacher workshops, publications, lectures and seminars, archival projects, and other appropriate endeavors to publicize the achievements of chemical scientists and the chemical process industries. Basic research in the history of the chemical sciences, scholarly publications, and the building of a strong chemical presence in the world of academic and public history are emphasized. The Othmer Library of Chemical History houses a rapidly growing collection of primary published sources on chemistry in the last hundred years, maintains a wide array of reference books and other secondary literature, collects the archives of professional organizations and the personal papers of outstanding chemists and industrialists, and maintains an extensive pictorial collection. It serves as an information resource for the chemical community and the media and supports the programs of the Beckman Center.
