Description
The American Chemical Society Fellows Program honors members for outstanding achievements and contributions to science, the profession, and the Society. Created by the ACS Board of Directors in December 2008, it is a recognition program rather than support for a specified research project. The Fellow of the American Chemical Society designation recognizes both exceptional professional accomplishment and excellent volunteer service to the ACS community.
Selection requires documented excellence, leadership, and impact in two areas: science, the profession, education, and/or management; and volunteer service to ACS and its membership and community. Excellence in research, teaching, or management alone is insufficient, as is ACS service alone. The selection committee weighs the depth, extent, and impact of the contributions documented in the nomination.
