The American Chemical Society (ACS) presents this National Award to recognize creative and impactful work by a young investigator in a forefront area of inorganic chemistry, broadly defined. Innovative interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research may qualify. The award gives special consideration to the creativity of the research and its actual or potential impact.
Established in 2012, the award is supported by an endowed fund established by Harry Gray and his friends and colleagues. It recognizes the investigator’s work rather than funding a proposed research project.
