Rewarding your best research
The Reaxys PhD Prize is awarded for original and innovative research in organic, organometallic and inorganic chemistry, which demonstrates excellence in methodology and approach by a candidate currently studying for a PhD or having completed a PhD after January 1, 2011.
Three Prize Winners will each receive a check for $2000. Prize Winners and Finalists will be invited to attend the Prize Symposium and Poster Session. This will be held during the 2012 Fall ACS Meeting in Philadelphia. The Symposium is sponsored by the Division of Inorganic Chemistry and co-sponsored by the Division of Organic Chemistry.
Submissions for the 2012 Reaxys PhD Prize will be accepted from December 15, 2011 until February 15, 2012.
The review and decision process is managed by three regional coordinators, all members of the Reaxys Advisory Board:
- Prof. A. G. M. Barrett, Imperial College London, UK
- Prof. B. M. Trost, Stanford University, USA
- Prof. H. N. C. Wong, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China
Submissions are reviewed by leading international chemists and judged for originality, innovation, importance to the field, applicability, rigor of approach and publication quality. 45 Finalists are identified from the review process, and the regional coordinators then select the 3 Winners from these Finalists.
Prize Winners and Finalists will be invited to attend the Prize Symposium and Poster Session. This will be held during the 2012 Fall ACS Meeting in Philadelphia. Travel bursaries will be provided in order to support attendance.
