The LPSLI is an intensive five-day course to develop participant agency and influence through small group exercises, conversations with distinguished leaders, networking opportunities, and extensive community building.

Program Eligibility:

• Applicants must be an early- or mid- career STEM professional working to advance change in STEM. Applicants should have a terminal degree, such as a doctorate or equivalent. 

• Participants must work with their company/institution to support up to a $2,750 cost share – representing only 25% of the total cost of this program. If institutional funding cannot be secured, SACNAS will fully support the participation of accepted candidates.

2026 LPSLI is happening in-person, July 20-24 at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Headquarters in Washington, DC with an additional virtual component prior to the institute.
