The ICI Student Award in Applied Polymer Science is sponsored by the Joint Polymer Education Committee of the ACS Divisions of Polymeric Materials: Science and Technology and Polymer Chemistry.

Graduate students, either currently in graduate school, or not more than one year beyond graduation, are invited to submit a research paper for presentation at the Fall ACS Meetings.

Limited information on previous awardees is available.

2003 Call for Nominations:

The call for applications for 2003 is given below for reference. The annual calls for nominations are usually found at either the POLYED web site (under College/University Students), or at the PMSE web site (under ICI award).

Applications are invited for the 2003 ICI Student Award in Applied Polymer Science sponsored by the Joint Polymer Education Committee of the ACS Divisions of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering and Polymer Chemistry.

Graduate students, either currently in graduate school, or not more than one year beyond graduation, are invited to submit a research paper for presentation at the Fall 2003 ACS Meeting in New York City. The paper should conform to the preprint format of the PMSE Division and be commensurate with the regulations and customs of papers presented at PMSE/ACS programs.

Up to six finalists will be selected based on the scientific merit of the submitted papers. Out-of-pocket expenses up to $750 will be available to each finalist to attend the ACS meeting and present his/her paper in the ICI Award Symposium within the PMSE program. The awardee is selected on the basis of the quality of the written/oral presentation. The oral presentation must be given by the student, not by the co-author/thesis advisor. Papers not selected for presentation in the ICI Award Symposium may still be submitted subsequently for presentation in the PMSE program but will not be considered for the award.

The Award, consisting of $1,600, a plaque and a certificate, will be presented at the PMSE Division luncheon at the following Spring ACS meeting in New Orleans. All finalists will receive a one-year complimentary membership in the PMSE Division.

NOTE: Applications and preprints for the 2003 Award must be received by March 1, 2003.
