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.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).
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.

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.
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 CV
and the letter of departmental support should be sent as pdf or text files
to carlos.simmerling.gmail.com. Please include your last name and the type

We also suggest that HP award applicants submit a separate abstract to PACS
for an oral presentation in a relevant session, in addition to their poster
abstract in the HP award section (note that acceptance into the oral
sessions is not guaranteed).

*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.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.
