****************************************************************************************** ****Graduate Fellowship Program Purpose. To encourage basic research in the field of analytical chemistry, to promote the growth of analytical chemistry in academic institutions and industry, and to provide recognition of future leaders in the field of analytical chemistry. Eligibility criteria. The applicant must be a full-time student working toward a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry and must have completed the second year of graduate study by the time the fellowship period begins. The applicant's research supervisor must be a member of the American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry and only one nomination per research supervisor will be accepted. Applicants must demonstrate outstanding research ability and accomplishment, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in analytical chemistry. Consequently, fellowships are normally awarded to students in their third or fourth years of graduate study when they have established a publication record. For more information and to download application materials, please visit the fellowship website. ****Undergraduate Award Program Nominating information is sent to each eligible institution in late winter annually.
****I. M. Kolthoff Enrichment Awards for Undergraduate Students Applications are invited for the 2013 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 either PITTCON 2013 (March 17 - March 21, 2013; Philadelphia, PA) or the Spring ACS National Meeting & Exposition (April 7-11, 2013; New Orleans, LA). 2-3 awards will likely be made between the two meetings. Students presenting at the Spring ACS National Meeting are expected to participate in the CHED Undergraduate Poster Session. Directions A completed application consists of the completed application form, a copy of the abstract submitted for presentation at either PITTCON 2013 or the Spring 2013 ACS National Meeting, and a nomination letter, written by the student's undergraduate research. The nomination letter should be submitted directly by the student's advisor via E-mail to Professor Mabrouk (p.mabrouk@neu.edu). The subject line of the email should state "Letter of Recommendation on Behalf of [Student's Name] for 2013 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. The deadline for submission of completed applications for the I.M. Kolthoff Award for consideration for the 2013 competition will be December 1, 2012. Please direct all questions to Pam Mabrouk via E-mail (p.mabrouk@neu.edu). Preference will be given to undergraduate chemistry majors with strong academic records who have made significant research contributions in the analytical sciences for whom this would be their first external national meeting presentation. ****Pfizer Graduate Travel Awards in Analytical Chemistry IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Pfizer Graduate Travel Awards is no longer offered Recipients of the Pfizer Graduate Travel Award:

****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. |
