Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology
Charles D. Coryell Award for Undergraduate Research in Nuclear Chemistry

Each year, the Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology sponsors the Charles D. Coryell Award for Undergraduate Research in Nuclear Chemistry (NUCL). We are looking for nominees who might be eligible for this award to submit their application by June 2nd. If you know any undergraduates who have done research in the broadly-defined field that is nuclear chemistry in the past year (including last summer), The Coryell Award details are listed on the Division of Nuclear Chemistry & Technology's website. The application process is relatively easy if the research has already been done and the awardee will receive a $500 check and a certificate at the Fall National ACS meeting.

Divisions of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering (PMSE) and Polymer Chemistry (POLY)
ICI Student Award in Applied Polymer Science

Applications are invited, by March of each calendar year, for the ICI Student Award in Applied Polymer Science to promote graduate research in polymer science. This award is sponsored by the Polymer Education Committee of the ACS Divisions of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering (PMSE) and Polymer Chemistry (POLY). Graduate students, either currently in graduate school or not more than one year beyond graduation, are invited to submit a research paper for presentation at the 2006 Fall ACS Meeting in San Francisco. The paper should conform to the preprint format of the PMSE Division and be commensurate with the regulations and customs of papers presented in PMSE/ACS programs.

Up to six finalists are normally selected based on scientific merit of the submitted papers. Out-of-pocket expenses up to $750 will be available to each finalist to attend the ACS meeting and present his/her paper in the ICI Student Award Symposium within the PMSE program. The paper must be given by the student, not by the co-author/thesis advisor. The awardee will be chosen by an anonymous evaluation committee that will audit the presentations.

The Award, consisting of $1600 and a plaque, will be presented at the PMSE Division luncheon at the following Spring meeting in Chicago 2007. All finalists will receive a one-year complimentary membership in the PMSE Division. NOTE: Applications, abstracts, and preprints for the 2006 Award must be received via e-mail by March 6, 2006.
