The American Chemical Society awards program is one of the means by which the society meets its obligation “to encourage…the advancement of chemistry in all its branches, the promotion of research in chemical science and industry, [and] the improvement of the qualifications and usefulness of chemists.” The continuing excellence of the ACS awards program requires that a number of highly qualified chemistry professionals be nominated and that great care be taken in preparing the nominations.
The nomination process follows a multi-year cycle encompassing a series of procedures, forms, and committees. Award candidates who are not selected will automatically be considered for two additional award cycles as part of the renomination process.
We would like to thank all those who submitted nominations for the 2011 award cycle, which ended November 1, 2009. The 2011 award recipients will be announced at the 240th ACS National Meeting in Anaheim, CA.
