CINF Scholarship for Scientific Excellence Sponsored by FIZ Chemie Berlin
The scholarship program of the Division of Chemical Information (CINF) of the American Chemical Society (ACS) funded by FIZ Chemie Berlin is designed to reward graduate and postdoctoral students in chemical information and related sciences for scientific excellence and to foster their involvement in CINF.
Up to three scholarships valued at $1,000 each will be presented at the 240th ACS National Meeting in Boston, MA, August 22 – 26, 2010. Applicants must be enrolled at a certified college or university, and they will present a poster during the Welcoming Reception of the division on Sunday evening at the National Meeting. Additionally, they will have the option to also show their poster at the Sci-Mix session on Monday night. Abstracts for the poster must be submitted electronically through PACS, the new abstract submission system of ACS.
To apply, please inform the Chair of the selection committee, Guenter Grethe at ggrethe@comcast.net, that you are applying for a scholarship. Submit your abstract to http://abstracts.acs.org using your ACS ID. If you do not have an ACS ID, follow the registration instructions and submit your abstract for “CINF Scholarship for Scientific Excellence”. The deadline for submitting an abstract to PACS is March 28, 2010. Additionally, please send a 2,000-word abstract describing the work to be presented in electronic form to the Chair of the selection committee by June 15, 2010. Any questions related to applying for one of the scholarships should be directed to the same e-mail address.
Winners will be chosen based on contents, presentation and relevance of the poster and they will be announced during the reception. The contents shall reflect upon the student’s work and describe research in the field of cheminformatics and related sciences. Winning posters will be marked “Winner of FIZ Chemie-CINF Scholarship for Scientific Excellence” at the poster session.
