ACS Award in Pure Chemistry supports early-career researchers by recognizing fundamental research of unusual merit, encouraging original, independent thought and scientific accomplishment in pure chemistry.
Experience since the terminal degree is now explicitly calculated using the nomination submission year, not the award presentation year, with gaps such as parental leave or sabbaticals taken into account. ACS also added inconsistency with its Core Values as grounds for rescinding an award.
ACS Award in Industrial Chemistry honors industrial researchers for creative contributions to chemical, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical, or biochemical research that advance science and benefit society.
ACS Award in Chromatography recognizes chromatography contributors for outstanding achievements, especially new methods, honoring work that advances the field and benefits society rather than funding proposed research.
ACS Award for Research at an Undergraduate Institution supports chemistry faculty and institutional research to advance fundamental science and undergraduate students’ professional development.
ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry honors researchers for fundamental work on inorganic substances’ preparation, properties, reactions, or structure, encouraging original research that advances the field.
ACS Award in Polymer Chemistry honors researchers for pioneering polymer synthesis or discoveries in polymer physical chemistry that advance understanding and address global needs for advanced materials.
