Description
The American Chemical Society (ACS) administers the Pariser Award in Theoretical Chemistry as an ACS National Award, sponsored by the Pariser Family Trust. It recognizes accomplished, innovative research in theoretical chemistry, with emphasis on work distinguished by depth, originality, and scientific significance. The award focuses on a nominee’s contributions to the field rather than a proposed project.
