Spring 2023 Student Travel Awards

The Catalysis Science and Technology (CATL) Division solicits applications for CATL-ChemCatBio Graduate Student Travel Awards, covering the registration fee of graduate students presenting at the Spring 2023 ACS National Meeting to be held March 26-30, 2023 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Recipients will be recognized at the Division reception to be held the evening of March 27, 2023, at a venue to be announced.

The travel awards aim to further the shared goals of the ACS CATL and ChemCatBio Consortium to provide educational opportunities in catalysis, support professional development of young scientists, and foster diversity and inclusion in chemical process research.

Students must be an ACS CATL Division Member to be eligible. Division membership is free for students; apply for membership here.

Please send as a single PDF file, in an email attachment:

1. Notice of abstract acceptance for a CATL-sponsored symposium

2. CV of the graduate student

3. Nomination letter from the student's PhD advisor

4. ACS Member numbers of the nominator and the nominee

Include CATL REGISTRATION AWARD APPLICATION (in capital letters) as the subject. Forward documentation to the ACS CATL Assistant at contractor.acs.catl@gmail.com by February 17, 2023.

Applicants are encouraged to register for the meeting in advance and save their receipt. Registration will be reimbursed following the meeting.

Sincerely,

Call for Nominations - ACS Catalysis Lectureship

The annual ACS Catalysis Lectureship for the Advancement of Catalytic Science honors an individual or a collaborative team for recent and significant contributions to the field. The award has a different focus each year:

• 2021: Biocatalysis or enzymology

• 2022: Heterogeneous catalysis

• 2023: Homogeneous or molecular catalysis

To make a nomination (nomination details), please complete the form by January 22, 2023, including uploading a SINGLE PDF FILE containing the following items in this order:

• Nomination Remarks: A 500-word, or shorter, description articulating the impact of the nominee’s research accomplishment being recognized in this nomination.

• Suggested Citation: A 100-word, or shorter, summary of the nominee's accomplishment being recognized with this award. If the nominee is selected, this citation will be considered for inclusion in the winner's announcement.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not accepting CVs or supporting letters as part of this nomination process.The 2023 Winner will Receive:

• An award plaque

• An honorarium of US$3,000

• Registration for ACS Fall 2023 in San Francisco

• Travel and accommodations funding of up to US$1,500 to attend and present at a symposium in their honor at ACS Fall 2023

Eligibility:

• Self nominations are welcome.

• Nominees' work must be in the area of homogeneous or molecular catalysis. For the 2023 award we will not consider nominations working in other areas.

• Nominees must have published at least one paper in ACS Catalysis, although that paper does not need to serve as the basis for the award.

• Team nominations must be limited to three principal team members.

• The following individuals are ineligible to be considered:

  • Current ACS Publications Editors-in-Chief and Deputy Editors

  • Current ACS Catalysis Executive Editors, Associate Editors, and Topic Editors

  • Any serving selection committee member for this award

Additional Information:

• The lectureship recognizes a recent, specific, distinctive, creative, and impactful contribution to catalysis science. Emphasis is placed on specific contributions that have not been recognized with other awards.

• Nomination documentation should describe and provide evidence for the impact of the contribution, which will have been in the past 5-7 years exclusive of time committed to an official leave of absence.

• In the event of multiple submissions of similar quality, nominees who have not yet been recognized for the work associated with the nomination will receive priority.

• Nominations from previous years do not carry over, but may be updated and resubmitted.

• The award selection committee will consist of ACS Catalysis editors as well as representatives from the ACS Division of Catalysis Science and Technology.

• If you have questions, please send them to Award.ACSCatalysis@acs.org.

• Before making a nomination, you must get the nominee's consent to share information about them as part of the nomination process. This is necessary for the American Chemical Society, ACS Publications, and the ACS Division of Catalysis Science and Technology to comply with laws and rules around the processing of personal data.

ACS CATL Awards Solicitation

The Catalysis Science and Technology Division of the American Chemical Society is pleased to invite its members to nominate candidates for two awards with descriptions that follow: ACS Catalysis Science & Technology Division – Early Career in Catalysis

This award will recognize and encourage accomplishments and innovation of unusual merit by an individual in early stages of their career. A nominee must have received their Ph.D. in the past 10 years and must also have been a member of the ACS Catalysis Science and Technology division for a two-year period preceding their nomination. Independence and creativity of the researcher in the early stages of their career will be the primary criterion for the award. The award will be granted regardless of race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity, presence of disabilities, and educational background.

Nominations for the award are due 30 November 2022. The nomination should include: · A nomination letter emphasizing the nominee’s achievements relevant to the nomination [1000 words]

· Two letters seconding the nomination [500 words]

· The nominee’s CV [5 pages]

· A complete list of scholarly work relevant to the nomination

· At least one letter writer must be a member of the ACS Division of Catalysis Science and Technology (CATL)

The award will be presented annually at the Fall meeting of the ACS at a special session of the ACS Division of Catalysis Science and Technology. The awardee will receive $1,000 as honorarium and up to $1,500 in travel support.

All nomination packages (collated in a single PDF file) should be sent by email to Prof. William F. Schneider (wschneider@nd.edu), Chair, ACS Catalysis Science and Technology Division.
