excuse the off topic post, but many of you may be eligible for these awards
so I thought I would send the announcement here.
The ACS Division of Computers in Chemistry is offering 3 awards for the
Spring ACS national meeting in San Francisco.
1) Outstanding junior faculty award (tenure-track)
2) CCG Research excellence award (grad student, money award)

*CCG*
Five $1,150 CCG Excellence Student Travel Award Stipends Available for the
Spring 2009 Salt Lake City 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.
To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in San Francisco, CA,
March 21-25, 2009, 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 (no other formats accepted) to carlos.simmerling.gmail.com. There is a
limit of one application per research lab (PI).
IMPORTANT: APPLICATION MATERIALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM EASTERN TIME ON
OCTOBER 19, 2009.
Applicants will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you
do not receive confirmation by October 20, 2009, 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 (the COMP
deadline is October 19, 2009).

Junior Faculty award
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, as well as
the level of Departmental support as indicated by a letter of support by the
Chair or Chair designee.
To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in San Francisco, CA,
March 21-25, 2009, an extended abstract of the work (no more than 2 pages),
a CV and the letter of departmental support should be sent as pdf or text
files (no other formats accepted) to carlos.simmerling.gmail.com
IMPORTANT: APPLICATION MATERIALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM EASTERN TIME ON
OCTOBER 19, 2009.
Applicants will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you
do not receive confirmation by October 20, 2009, please contact the
organizer immediately by telephone (see below).
In addition, you must submit your normal abstract to the "Outstanding Junior
Faculty Award" symposium on the OASYS system (the COMP PACS deadline is
October 19, 2009). Note that this is an abstract for the poster
presentation. We also suggest that award applicants submit a separate
abstract to OASYS for an oral presentation, in addition to their poster
abstract (note that acceptance into the oral sessions is not guaranteed).

*Supercomputing*
Two “Graduate Student Awards in Supercomputing” to be awarded at the Spring
2009 San Francisco 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 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,
potential impact of additional supercomputer resources, as well as the
strength of the supporting letter and other materials.
Application requirements for the ACS National Meeting in San Francisco
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). For information about
kraken, see
http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/computing-resources/kraken. There
is a limit of one application per research lab (PI).
IMPORTANT: APPLICATION MATERIALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM EASTERN TIME ON
OCTOBER 19, 2009. These should be sent as pdf or text files (no other
formats accepted) to carlos.simmerling.gmail.com.
Applicants will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you
do not receive confirmation by October 20, 2009, please contact the
organizer immediately by telephone (see below).
In addition, you must submit your normal poster abstract to the "poster
session" symposium on the ACS PACS system (the COMP deadline is October 19,
2009).
