We launched our first special call for projects through the Inclusion and Diversity Fund, to specifically encourage and support projects focusing on addressing the underrepresentation of Black chemists, as part of our ongoing work focusing on race and ethnicity inequities in the chemical sciences. This special call for projects in support of the Black chemistry community funded 15 projects including 11 based in the UK/ROI, the details of which can be found in the Past projects table below.

We launched our second special call, to encourage applications for projects focused on disability and accessibility in the chemical sciences. We understand that disabled chemists are diverse, and we explicitly welcomed projects focusing on any and all experiences of disability, including mobility and sensory impairments, chronic illness, neurodiversity, and mental health conditions. We were delighted to award funding to 9 projects representing this broad diversity of focus, the details of which can be found in the Past projects table below.

We launched an additional special call for projects to research and tackle disabled under representation in chemistry. Applications were received from a wide variety of countries worldwide and were pleased to award funding to ten projects the details of which can be found in the Past projects table below.

We launched the socioeconomic inclusion special call which aimed to further understand and support the needs and challenges of chemists from low socioeconomic backgrounds to promote inclusive access and progression within the chemical sciences. We particularly encouraged applications for community driven projects or events that focus on intersectionality to fully understand the multiple disadvantages due to different protected characteristics.
