Victor K. LaMer Award

for graduate research in colloid and surface chemistry

$2500 PRIZE

The Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the American Chemical Society invites nominations for the Victor K. LaMer Award for Graduate Research in Colloid and Surface Chemistry. The Award Prize is $2,500 and a certificate. The thirty-sixth of these annual awards is to be presented at the 79th Colloid and Surface Science Symposium, to be held June 12 - 15, 2005 at Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY.

ELIGIBILITY:

The award is for an outstanding Ph.D. thesis accepted by a US or Canadian university during the three-year period September 1, 2001-August 30, 2004. Previous years’ nominations may be renewed or appended with an updated letter of nomination.

NOMINATION:

Nomination may be made by the thesis advisor or anyone familiar with the nominee’s work. In addition to the nomination letter, the nomination packet should contain five copies of the thesis, along with a supporting letter and biography of the nominee. Five copies of all material, including thesis and supporting documentation, are required. Incomplete nominations may jeopardize an otherwise outstanding nomination.

CRITERIA:

1. The judges will consider originality, significance, quality and other criteria normally accepted in evaluation of scientific work.

2. Special attention will be paid to the contribution of the student as distinct from the contribution of the professor. The nomination should clearly differentiate the two efforts.

3. The potential and promise of the student as a future investigator will be considered. Therefore, achievement by the student prior to and after completion of the thesis may be discussed. Copies (five) of papers published after the thesis will be helpful.
