****************************************************************************************** ****Undergraduate Award Program Nominating information is sent to each eligible institution in late winter annually.
****I. M. Kolthoff Enrichment Awards for Undergraduate Students Applications will be invited later in 2008 for the 2009 I. M. Kolthoff Award for undergraduate research in analytical chemistry. The I.M. Kolthoff Award is given annually to deserving undergraduates who have done undergraduate research in the field of analytical chemistry, broadly defined, in celebration of the life and accomplishments of the late Professor Izaak Maurits Kolthoff, viewed by many as the father of modern analytical chemistry. The Kolthoff awards provide travel funding up to $750 for undergraduate students to present a poster on their undergraduate research this year at the 235th ACS National Meeting & Exposition which will take place April 6-10, 2008 in New Orleans, LA. At this time the precise deadline for submission of abstracts for the Spring National Meeting has not yet been published but it is anticipated that the deadline will be around October 28, 2007. Applicants for the I. M. Kolthoff Award must submit an abstract for their poster presentation on-line prior to the published deadline for preliminary abstracts. The deadline for submission of completed applications for the I.M. Kolthoff Award for consideration for the 2008 competition will be October 31, 2007. Preference will be given to applicants who are in their junior or senior year and for whom this would be their first time attending and presenting at a major national research conference. Evaluation criteria will include the quality of the abstract/research, student's grades, advisor's letter of support, the student's interest in and potential for graduate study in the analytical sciences, and diversity (ethnicity, gender, institution type, and institution geographic location). A completed application consists of the filled-in application form Microsoft Word, a copy of the abstract submitted for presentation at the spring 2008 ACS National Meeting, and a nomination letter, written by the student's undergraduate research mentor. The nomination letter should be submitted directly by the student's advisor via email to Professor Mabrouk. The subject line of the E-mail should state "Letter of Recommendation on Behalf of [Student's Name] for 2008 I. M. Kolthoff Award." All applications and nomination letters must be submitted in electronic form to Professor Pam Mabrouk, Chair of the DAC Education Committee. Please direct all questions to Pam Mabrouk:
by E-mail (p.mabrouk@neu.edu).
****Pfizer Graduate Travel Awards in Analytical Chemistry The Division of Analytical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society has established the Pfizer Graduate Travel Awards in Analytical Chemistry. The award provides funding for graduate students to travel to an ACS National Meeting and to present the results of their research in the form of a poster at the Poster Session of the Division of Analytical Chemistry. Funds from the Pfizer Award may be applied toward registration, travel, and accommodations. Only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible. Preference will be given to those applicants who have not made a previous presentation at a National scientific meeting. Five Awards up to $1000 will be made annually on the basis of both scientific merit and financial need. The next deadline will be in 2008.
1. The complete application must be received by the deadline in hard copy form by: Department of Chemistry The College of Wooster Wooster, Ohio 44691 2. Required information for applying for the Pfizer Graduate Travel Awards in Analytical Chemistry

****Support of Symposia at Regional ACS Meetings The Analytical Division has a speaker's fund to help support programming at the regional American Chemical Society meetings. Awards will generally be made to support a thematic symposium. Funds can be used to support travel expenses of an expert in the field who would not normally attend that particular regional meeting. It is expected that local speakers will then be included to fill out the symposium. Alternatively, funds can be requested to provide more modest levels of support to several speakers from the region. The Division will help regional planners identify possible speakers for symposia topics, if necessary. Applications for support are considered on a rolling basis until the yearly allocation of funds has been expended. There is no formal application process. Anyone interested in applying for an award should contact by email to discuss the nature of the symposium and the funds that are needed to help support the program. |
