Available Funding

The goal of Vision2020 is to expand the amount of funding available to the chemical industry for pre-competitive R&D. Your company can leverage resources by joining the Vision2020 Steering Committee or the Technical Committees. These forums help chemical companies advance their understanding of the technical challenges, and identify funding sources and partners. Proposal requirements vary considerably. Some funding sources require a streamlined proposal to expedite the process, while others required a detailed and in depth proposal.
