Project Proposals 

The ASBC Research Council​ is proud to fund academic research in brewing science conducted at a not-for-profit academic institutions (domestic and international) with ​​preference given to projects that align with ASBC member priorities.

ASBC encourages principal investigators or students to submit a project proposal. Membership in ASBC is required.

Project Topics Accepted​ for Funding

  • Malt-Derived Thiols and Flavor Compounds

  • Malt flavor compounds and Sensory Perception

  • In-process measurement of malt quality in germination by modern analytical technology

  • Non-Alcoholic (NA) beer with a focus on microbial safety and sensory

  • Hop smoked taint

  • Hop/yeast biotransformation

  • Sustainable agriculture, malting and brewing

  • Haze stability

  • Next Generation Beverages and alternative ingredients 

  • Transformations in Laboratory Techniques

Budget and Funding Guidelines

The ASBC bud​get year funds from April 1 to March 31. Funding commitments are one year in duration. Continuing funding for projects requiring more than one year to complete will be evaluated on a yearly basis. 

Approved fund usage:

  • Student/investigator wages
  • Analytical Services (in-house or outsourced)
  • Consumables
  • Approved travel (up to $2,000)

Please note ASBC policy does not allow usage of ASBC Research Council funds to be used for purchase of capital equipment over $2,500 USD. In addition, no Institutional Overhead, Indirect Costs, or Facilities and Administration charges on funding provided by the ASBC Research Council are allowed.​

Project submissions will be reviewed by the ASBC Research Council​ based on the following criteria:

  • Introduction & Literature Review: Provides a clear and thorough introduction and background. 

  • Purpose and Objectives: States a specific testable research question.

  • Value to ASBC Membership: Cleary addresses a gap in current knowledge or clearly identifies a method or solution valuable to the ASBC membership. 

  • Methodology: Provides a clear explanation of the proposed experimental methods. 

  • Innovation/Novelty​: Incorporates specific innovative technologies/disruptive ideas/emerging trends in the approach. 

  • Argument Structure: Provides a strong, clear, convincing conclusions why the proposed method should be used and evidence (i.e. relevant examples to support the conclusions). 

  • Feasibility​: The equipment is available and the timeline for conducting the proposed experiment, with subject matter expertise.​
