Description
The American Chemical Society’s Joel Henry Hildebrand Award recognizes distinguished contributions to understanding the chemistry and physics of liquids. It honors theoretical and experimental achievements rather than funding a proposed research project. The award is part of the ACS National Awards program and is listed for industry researchers, faculty, chemistry professionals, and international recipients.
Established in 1980, it commemorates the scientific contributions of Joel H. Hildebrand, a past ACS president. Hildebrand received the first award in November 1981, during observances of his 100th birthday. ACS currently cites a lack of funding for the award, making nomination availability an important point to verify.
