Elias J. Corey Award for Outstanding Original Contribution in Organic Synthesis by a Young Investigator honors young researchers for creative, useful work that advances synthetic organic 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 supporters’ eligibility guidance and expanded grounds for rescinding awards to include conduct inconsistent with Society Core Values.
ACS Award for Creative Work in Synthetic Organic Chemistry recognizes researchers’ outstanding published work in organic synthesis to honor scientific innovation and encourage further creativity.
