Hi John,
please share this. thanks!

Applications are open for 3 types of awards from the ACS Division of
Computers in Chemistry, to be awarded at the Fall 2011 national meeting in
Denver. The deadline is 5pm EDT March 28, 2011.
1) CCG Research Excellence award (graduate students)
2) HP Outstanding Junior Faculty Award (tenure-track Assistant Professors)
3) Peter Kollman Graduate Award in Supercomputing
CCG Graduate student award
CCG Research Excellence student travel award stipends are available for
the Fall 2011 Denver 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 to offset their travel expenses,
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. Up to 5 awardees will be 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). Previous winners are not eligible.
To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in Denver, CO August
28-September 1, 2011, 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
a SINGLE pdf or text file to carlos.simmerling_at_gmail.com. You must include
your last name in the file name. Letters of support can be sent separately
from the other materials.
The application deadline is 5pm EDT on March 28, 2011. Applicants will
receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not receive
confirmation by March 30, please contact the organizer immediately by
telephone (see below). In addition, you must submit your normal poster
abstract to the "Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award" symposium on
the ACS PACS system prior to the PACS deadline. Note that you MUST APPLY
TWICE: email your application, and submit an abstract to PACS. Both must
be submitted before their respective deadlines. Do not submit your PACS
abstract to the standard poster session- it must be submitted for the CCG
session or your application will not be considered.

HP Junior Faculty Award
The ACS COMP HP Outstanding Junior Faculty Award program provides $1,000
to up to 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 (untenured) 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.
To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in Denver, CO August
28-September 1, 2011, an extended abstract of the work (no more than 2
pages), a CV and the letter of departmental support should be sent as a
SINGLE pdf or text file to carlos.simmerling_at_gmail.com. The departmental
support letter can be sent separately if desired. You must include your
last name in the file name.
The application deadline is 5pm EDT on March 28. Applicants will receive
email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not receive
confirmation by March 30, please contact the organizer immediately by
telephone (see below). In addition, you must submit your normal poster
abstract to the "Outstanding Junior Faculty Award" symposium on the ACS
PACS system prior to the PACS deadline. Note that you MUST APPLY TWICE:
email your application, and submit an abstract to PACS. Both must be
submitted before their respective deadlines. Do not submit your PACS
abstract to the standard poster session- it must be submitted for the HP
session or your application will not be considered.
Note that the award application is for the poster session. If you want to
also give an oral presentation, you must submit a separate abstract to
PACS for an oral presentation in a relevant session, in addition to the
poster abstract in the award section (note that acceptance into the oral
sessions is not guaranteed).

Supercomputing
*Peter Kollman Graduate Award in Supercomputing* to be awarded at the
Fall 2011 Denver ACS National Meeting.
The ACS Peter Kollman Graduate 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* Cray XT5 supercomputer at
the National Institute of Computational Sciences (NICS), with an
allocation of computing time to support the project. For information about
kraken, see http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/computing-resources/kraken.
Allocations will be determined based on the requested amount and
consideration of resource availability.
Up to 2 awardees will be 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. Projects with modest computational
needs that can be performed on individual machines or small clusters will
likely not be competitive. Application requirements 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 detailed 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, parallel scaling
data, and an estimate of the total time needed. Submit the application to
carlos.simmerling_at_gmail.com as a SINGLE pdf or text file, and include your
last name in the file name. There is a limit of one Supercomputing Award
application per research lab (PI). Previous winners are not eligible.
The application deadline is 5pm EDT on March 28, 2011. Applicants will
receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not receive
confirmation by March 30, please contact the organizer immediately by
telephone (see below).
Winners are encouraged but not required to present their work within the
COMP program at the meeting, either in oral or poster format. 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. Application for the supercomputing award does not constitute an
application for a presentation.
