Description
The American Chemical Society’s National Chemical Technical Professional Award honors excellence and professionalism among technicians, operators, analysts, and other applied chemical technology professionals. Administered by ACS Chemical Technical Professionals (CTP), it is a community recognition award rather than funding for a defined research project. It recognizes both technical accomplishments and broader contributions to the chemical profession.
Technical achievement is central to judging. Nominations are also assessed on leadership, mentoring, communications and publications, awards, community activities, and contributions to quality, safety, and other initiatives. The winner receives a cash award and plaque, with the award presented at a luncheon during the ACS Spring meeting. Travel expenses are provided for the winner.
