CINF-IO Informatics Scholarship for Scientific Excellence

The scholarship program of the Division of Chemical Information (CINF) of the American Chemical Society (ACS) funded by IO Informatics is designed to reward graduate students in chemical information and related sciences for scientific excellence and to foster their involvement in CINF.

Five scholarships valued at $1,000 each will be given out at both the Spring and Fall ACS National Meetings in a given year for a total of $10,000/year.  Additionally, the winners will receive an annual license, free-of-charge, of IO Informatic’s software Sentinent for their academic institution.  The grants have been awarded for the first time at the 230th National Meeting of ACS in Washington, DC.

Applicants must be enrolled at a certified college or university.  They have to present a poster at the respective National Meeting.  Abstracts for the poster have to be submitted according to ACS rules on or before the deadline for electronic submission using OASYS (http://oasys.acs.org/oasys.htm).

Applications are accepted for the 2006 Spring ACS Meeting in Atlanta (March 26 – 30, 2006).  The deadline for submission of an abstract is November 23, 2005.  Additionally, a 2,000-word long abstract describing the work to be presented has to be sent in electronic form before February 1st, 2006, to the chair of the selection committee at ggrethe@comcast.net.  Any questions related to applying for one of the scholarships should be directed to the same e-mail address.
