About SACNAS
SACNAS Chapter Information

Student chapters enhance year-round mentorship and networking opportunities for SACNAS student members. Through participation in SACNAS chapters, students, postdocs, faculty, and chapter advisors gain ongoing, local support for their development as scientists and science leaders.

Chapter members are encouraged to share information, resources, and peer-to-peer mentorship, as well as to take part in opportunities to give back to their communities and develop leadership skills. The annual conference and regional meetings provide venues for chapter members from universities and communities across the country connect with one another.

Opportunities for Current Chapters
Chapter Regional Meeting Proposal and Guidelines

The SACNAS Chapter Committee is happy to announce a innovative, new opportunity for SACNAS student chapters. Limited funding is now available for chapters to organize and facilitate their own meeting/event for chapters in their immediate region. The SACNAS Chapter Committee has developed a proposal that chapters can submit in order to request funds for a chapter regional meeting. The committee hopes to fund at least three chapter regional meetings by the end of 2009 at approximately $2,000 per meeting.


The Proposal and Budget Guidelines specify eligibility, required information for fund approval, and reporting requirements upon completion of the event.

Annual Reports

Submission of annual reports is a requirement for chapters to retain ACTIVE status. Chapter officers may access the annual report form online; it is the responsibility of chapter officers to be certain to submit the annual report by the deadline to prevent the chapter from becoming inactive. (NOTE: chapters in inactive status are listed as such on the SACNAS chapter website, are not included in the chapter web pages, and are ineligible for grant funding or for SACNAS awards.)


To qualify for SACNAS National Conference recognition and awards, chapter annual reports must be submitted by TBD.

To maintain "Active Status" for the 2010-2011 academic year, chapter annual reports must be submitted by TBD.
