Applications are open for 3 types of awards from the ACS Division
of Computers in Chemistry, to be awarded at the Spring 2013 national
meeting in New Orleans. The deadline is *5pm EDT Tuesday, October 23, 2012.
*
1) CCG Research Excellence award (graduate students)
2) OPENEYE Outstanding Junior Faculty Award (tenure-track Assistant
Professors)
3) Peter Kollman Graduate Award in High Performance Computing
*CCG** Research Excellence student travel award stipends are available for
the Spring 2013 New Orleans 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. Previous winners are not
eligible.
To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in New Orleans, LA,
April 7-11 2013, 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 . stonybrook.edu <
http://gmail.com/>. Use
the subject ACS CCG AWARD APPLICATION. You must use your last name as the *
beginning* of the file name ("yourname.CCG.application.pdf"). 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, October 23. Applicants
will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive confirmation by midnight Oct 25, 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.

*OPENEYE** **Junior Faculty Award*
The ACS COMP OPENEYE 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 New Orleans, LA,
April 7-11 2013, 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 . stonybrook.edu. Use the subject ACS OPENEYE AWARD
APPLICATION. You must use your last name as the *beginning* of the file
name ("yourname.OPENEYE.application.pdf"). 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 Tuesday, October 23. Applicants
will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive confirmation by midnight Oct 25, 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 OPENEYE 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.

*Peter Kollman Graduate Award in High Performance Computing to be
awarded at the Spring 2013 New Orleans 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 1-2 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 .
stonybrook.edu<
http://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. You must use your
last name as the *beginning* of the file name
("yourname.KOLLMAN.application.pdf").There is a limit of one Peter Kollman
Award application per research lab (PI). Previous winners are not eligible.
The application deadline is 5pm EDT on Tuesday, October 23. Applicants
will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you do not
receive confirmation by midnight Oct 25, 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.
