The Saint Louis Section ACS Award, originally sponsored by the Monsanto Company and administered by the Saint Louis Section–ACS, is presented to an individual who has made outstanding contributions to the profession of chemistry and demonstrated potential to further the advancement of the chemical profession, especially early in their career. The awardee is selected by a review committee constituted by the Section. The award consists of a $1,500 honorarium and a plaque.
Nominations are accepted at any time, however, those received by April 30 are considered for the award presented the following October. Non-winning nominees are automatically considered candidates for three years unless withdrawn by the nominator or the candidate. The nominator may update the carried-forward nomination with new information before April 30.
At the time of the nomination, the nominee must not have previously received the Midwest Award or any national ACS-sponsored award and must be a member or affiliate of the Saint Louis Section–ACS.
The nomination process, as well as a blog thread of past awards and a list of past awardees, can be found here. We urge anyone familiar with an outstanding Saint Louis-area chemist to help us recognize them with this prestigious award. Please send nominations and inquiries to the Saint Louis Award coordinator.
