hi all, please excuse the email about non-Amber topics, but many of you will
find this very interesting. Please share with your colleagues.
*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.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
CCGsession 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.gmail.com. The departmental
support letter can be sent separately if desired. You must include your last
name in the file name.* *

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.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.*
