stipends are available for the Fall 2012 Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia, PA Aug
19-23, 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 Tuesday, April 3. Applicants
willreceive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive
confirmation by 1pm on April 5, please contact the organizer immediately by
email (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 toup 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 Philadelphia, PA Aug
19-23, 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. Thedepartmental 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 Tuesday, April 3. Applicants
willreceive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive
confirmation by 1pm on April 5, please contact the organizer immediately by
email. 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 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). Use a somewhat
different title for the talk and poster.

*High Perfomance Computing *
Peter Kollman Graduate Award in High Performance Computing to be awarded at
the Fall 2012 Philadelphia 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
resourceavailability. 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 1-2 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 Tuesday, April 3. Applicants
willreceive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive
confirmation by 1pm on April 5, please contact the organizer immediately by
email. 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.
