*
* *
1) CCG Research Excellence award (graduate students)
2) HP Outstanding Junior Faculty Award (tenure-track Assistant Professors)
3) Peter Kollman Graduate Award in High Performance Computing
*CCG** Graduate student award*
CCG Research Excellence student travel award stipends are available for the
Spring 2012 San Diego 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 San Diego, CA March
25-29, 2012, a title and extended abstract of the work (no more than 2
pages), a two page CV, a personal statement (no more than 1 page) and a
letter of support from the research advisor should be sent as a SINGLE pdf
or text file to carlos.simmerling.gmail.com. Use the subject “ACS CCG AWARD
APPLICATION”. You must include your last name at the beginning of the file
name. Letters of support can be sent separately from the other materials but
must still arrive by the deadline.
The application *deadline is 5pm EDT on Thursday, October 20*. Applicants
will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive confirmation by 1pm on October 21, 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 CCG session 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 (or equivalent positions in
other institution types) 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 San Diego, CA March
25-29, 2012, a title and extended abstract of the work (no more than 2
pages), a complete CV (including ACS member number) and the letter of
departmental support should be sent as a SINGLE pdf or text file to
carlos.simmerling.gmail.com. Use the subject “ACS HP AWARD APPLICATION”. The
departmental support letter can be sent separately if desired but must
arrive by the deadline. You must include your last name at the start of the
file name.* *

The application *deadline is 5pm EDT on Thursday, October 20*. Applicants
will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive confirmation by 1pm on October 21, please contact the organizer
immediately by telephone (see below). In addition, you must submit your
normal poster abstract to the "Outstanding Junior Faculty 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
HPsession 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).

*High Perfomance Computing *
“Peter Kollman Graduate Award in High Performance Computing” to be awarded
at the Spring 2012 San Diego ACS National Meeting.
The ACS Peter Kollman Graduate Award in High Performance Computing 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, the potential impact on the project of obtaining additional
supercomputer resources, the 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 are not likely to be competitive. Application requirements include
a title and 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,
experience of the applicant with high performance computing, 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 at the start of the file name. Use the subject “ACS Kollman AWARD
APPLICATION”. There is a limit of one Kollman Award application per research
lab (PI). Previous winners are not eligible.
The application *deadline is 5pm EDT on Thursday, October 20*. Applicants
will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive confirmation by 1pm on October 21, 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.*
