The YCC has Awards for Younger Chemists! Each
year, the YCC organizes a Leadership Development Workshop that is geared toward younger chemists and is held in conjunction with the ACS Annual
Leaders' Conference as part of the ACS Leadership Development system. Fifteen Younger
Chemist Leadership Development Awards for younger ACS members (under 35 years of age) are awarded annually. The Younger Chemist
Leadership Development Award helps young chemists develop into highly skilled leaders in the Society and in their chosen profession. Applications for
the 2011 Younger Chemist Leadership Development Award will be accepted August 26th through October 1st, 2010.
The ACS Younger Chemists Committee (YCC) and the CIBA Foundation are
proud to support the CIBA/YCC Young Scientist Travel Award. This travel award provides funding for young and early-career chemists to
travel to and participate in an ACS national or regional meeting.
The travel award is intended for young scientists (under 35) who currently have a post-doctoral appointment OR are within the first seven (7) years of
their professional career. CIBA/YCC Young Scientist Travel Awards are awarded twice a year but the number of awards granted yearly will vary subject
to available funding. Applications to support travel to a spring ACS national or regional meeting
will be accepted September 1st through October 31st, 2010.
Application information for the CIBA/YCC
Young Scientist Travel Award and the 2011 Young Chemist Leadership Development Award will be available at http://ycc.sites.acs.org/starting
Sunday, August 22nd, 2010.
