The concomitant shifting realities of international collaboration and innovation, the need to prepare the next generation, and the essentialness of problem solving on a global scale provided the rationale for the creation of the ACS Global Research Experiences, Education, and Training (GREET) program. GREET aims to provide intensive, high-impact, international research and collaboration opportunities to U.S. chemical scientists with particular focus given to the inclusion of both undergraduate and graduate students. Additionally, GREET aims to: offer a tremendous mentoring experience to the participating students, help attract and retain talented students in chemistry-related programs and careers; boost substantive undergraduate and early career graduate student research; and infuse a more global perspective into U.S. curricula.To date the tangible outcomes of the GREET participants have ranged from obtainment of large research grants to changes in university curricula. Further details on this model program will be given and the outcomes discussed.
