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.


ACS Catalysis Science & Technology Division – Exceptional Achievements in Catalysis

This award will recognize excellence and scientific leadership in catalysis science and technology by an individual. The nomination should emphasize the impact of a researcher’s work in the broad field of catalysis science and technology, including advances in creation, understanding, and application of heterogeneous, homogeneous, and/or enzymatic catalytic systems. Nominations that highlight work for which the nominee has not received recognition in the past are strongly encouraged. The nominee must also have been a member of the ACS Catalysis Science and Technology division for a two-year period preceding their nomination. 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.

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 Fall 2022 ACS National Meeting to be held August 21-25, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois.

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. 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 number 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 July 15, 2022.


Applicants are encouraged to defer paying for conference registration; registration will be paid directly by the Division for awardees.


Sincerely,


Bill Schneider Josh Schaidle

The Catalysis Science and Technology Division (CATL) of the American Chemical Society (ACS) is pleased to announce that Prof. Eranda Nikolla, Wayne State University, is the recipient 2022 ACS Catalysis Lectureship for the Advancement of Catalytic Science, co-sponsored by the ACS Division of Catalysis Science & Technology and the journal ACS Catalysis. The Lectureship recognizes specific and recent contributions to the field of catalysis by an individual or team. Prof. Nikolla is being recognized for advancing the understanding of electrocatalytic reactions, specifically those by complex non-stoichiometric mixed-metal oxide catalysts in both low and high temperature electrochemical devices.


Prof. Nikolla joins Profs. Daniel Resasco, University of Oklahoma, Exceptional Achievements in Catalysis, and Matteo Cargnello, Stanford University, Early Career Award in Catalysis, as recipients of the Division's three annual awards. The accomplishments of all three will be celebrated during awards symposia to be held as part of the Fall 2022 American Chemical Society National Meeting, Chicago, Illinois, August 21-25, 2022.


As a reminder, applications for the CATL-ChemCatBio Graduate Student Travel Awards for the Spring 2022 National Meeting are due February 28, 2022.
