Description
The Philip J. Wyatt Award in Analytical Chemistry is administered by the American Chemical Society (ACS) as part of its National Awards program. It honors outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry, whether pure or applied, rather than funding a specified research project. Recipients include industry professionals, faculty, and chemistry professionals, including international nominees.
The award is supported by an endowed fund established by the Wyatt Family Foundation. Its selection rubric emphasizes contributions carried out in the United States or Canada, with special consideration for independence of thought, originality, and the importance of work applied to public welfare, economics, or humanity’s needs. Evaluation also considers scientific impact, societal benefit, innovation, and service to the scientific community.
