These rules are extracted and paraphrased from the complete guidelines, which are available from the Division Chair. However, they are sufficient to prepare a proper nomination for consideration by the appropriate award jury.

ELIGIBILITY

Eligibility is not restricted to members of the Division of Analytical Chemistry. Nominees for the J. Calvin Giddings Award for Excellence in Education must, however, must have demonstrated excellence in teaching through at least five years at the time the award is presented. Nominating and seconding letters may be submitted by persons who are not members of the Division.

DEADLINES

All nominations must be sent to the immediate past chairperson of the Division and must be received by November 1 of each year. The immediate past chairperson of the Division shall in turn transmit the nominations to the chairpersons of the appropriate juries. Nominations that are unsuccessful will be retained for jury consideration for the following three years.

For the 2009 Awards, nominations shall be sent no later than November 1, 2008 to:

Laurie E. Locascio
Chief, Biochemical Science Division
National Institute of Standards & Technology
100 Bureau Drive, MS 8310

Phone: 301-975-3130

NOMINATIONS

Nominations shall consist of:

1. A letter of nomination.

2. At least one but no more than six seconding letters.

3. A biographical statement emphasizing the accomplishments of the nominee which pertain to the award. The nominating documents shall be submitted in one package and shall not exceed 12 pages of text, including the nominating and seconding letters, biographical statement, and attachments to the nomination. Contributions by a candidate which have been recognized by a prior Divisional or ACS national award generally will not be considered by the jury for a Divisional award, especially if an award has been received within the past three years and within a similar area. Previous award winners for the divisional awards are listed below. The jury shall receive from its chairperson a list for each nominee of any such prior awards, their dates, and their citations. Any candidate previously nominated for an award who was not chosen as the awardee will be considered for up to three additional years without further action by the nominator being required.

    ****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).

    ****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.
