Five $1,150 CCG Excellence Student Travel Award Stipends Available for the
Fall 2010 Boston ACS National Meeting
*
The CCG Excellence Awards have been created to stimulate graduate student
participation in ACS COMP Division activities (symposia and poster
sessions) at ACS National Meetings. Those eligible for a CCG Excellence
Award are graduate students in good standing who present work within the
COMP program, either in oral or poster format. Winners receive $1,150, as
well as a copy of CCG's MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) software
with a one-year license. They are also honored during a ceremony at the
COMP Division Poster Session.
*
The awardees are chosen on the basis of the quality and significance of
the research to be presented, as well as the strength of the supporting
letter and other materials. All graduate students of the Americas (North,
South or Central) are encouraged to submit applications. Awards will be
given only to those individuals making presentations, not co-authors.
There is a limit of one CCG award application per research lab (PI).
*
To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in Boston, MA, August
22-26, 2010, an extended abstract of the work (no more than 2 pages), a
two page CV along with a letter of support from the research advisor, and
a personal statement (no more than 1 page) should be sent as pdf or text
files to carlos.simmerling_at_gmail.com. Please include your last name and
the type of information (CV, abstract, etc.) in the file name. The

The ACS COMP Outstanding Junior Faculty Award program provides $1,000 to
each of four outstanding tenure-track junior faculty members to present
their work in COMP symposia at ACS National Meetings.* The Awards are
designed to assist new faculty members in gaining visibility within the
COMP community.* Award certificates and $1,000 prizes will be presented at
the COMP Poster session.* While special consideration will be given to
Assistant Professors presenting work in the area of algorithm and methods
development, applications for Outstanding Junior Faculty Awards are
invited from all current tenure-track junior faculty who are members of
ACS and the ACS Division of Computers in Chemistry.* Postdoctoral
researchers in transition to faculty appointments may also be considered.
Selection criteria will include the novelty and importance of the work to
be presented, CV of the applicant, as well as the level of Departmental
support as indicated by the applicant's department Chair or Chair
designee.*

Supercomputing
Two *Graduate Student Awards in Supercomputing* to be awarded at the Fall
2010 Boston ACS National Meeting
*
The ACS Graduate Student Award in Supercomputing has been created to
provide supercomputer resources to outstanding students in the early
stages of their graduate career, particularly for projects that need high
performance computing resources for their chemistry-related project. Those
eligible for the award are graduate students in good standing who are
carrying out research in the broadly defined area of computational
chemistry. Winners (or their adviser, if necessary) will be the Principal
Investigator of a new account on the *kraken* supercomputer at the
National Institute of Computational Sciences (NICS). They will also be
honored during a ceremony at the COMP Division poster session. Applicants
are encouraged (but not required) to present work within the COMP program
at the meeting, either in oral or poster format.
*
The awardees are chosen on the basis of: the significance of the project
plan, potential impact on the project of additional supercomputer
resources, qualifications of the student, and the strength of the
supporting letter and other materials.
*
Application requirements for the ACS National Meeting in Boston include an
extended abstract of the work (no more than 1 page), a two page CV, a
brief letter of support from the research advisor, and a 1 page
computational plan indicating: computational resources already available
for the project, the types of calculations to be performed, availability
of software, justification of number and length of runs, and an estimate
of the total time needed (up to 200,000 CPU hours maximum). Please include
your last name and the type of information (CV, abstract, etc.) in the
file name. For information about kraken, see
http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/computing-resources/kraken. There is a limit
of one Supercomputing Award application per research lab (PI) per award
type.
*
These should be sent as pdf or text files (no other formats accepted) to
carlos.simmerling_at_gmail.com. Please include your last name and the type of
information (CV, abstract, etc.) in the file name. The application
deadline is 5pm on March 30. Applicants will receive email confirmation of
receipt of materials. If you do not receive confirmation by April 1, 2010,
please contact the organizer immediately by telephone (see below).
*
If you want to present your work in an oral or poster presentation, you
must also submit your abstract using the ACS PACS system, prior to the
PACS deadline.
