Purpose
Recognizes an outstanding poster presented by an undergraduate and graduate student during the PMSE poster session at each Fall and Spring ACS National Meetings.
Nature
Six awards will be made yearly, three at each of the National ACS Meetings. Each awardee will each receive a $200 award. Awardees will be acknowledged at the PMSE/POLY Awards Ceremony at the National ACS Meeting.
Selection Criteria
Posters are evaluated by a group of judges, selected by the PMSE Executive Committee, during the poster session. Finalists are identified and awardees selected before the conclusion of the poster session.
Eligibility
Undergraduate and graduate students who present a PMSE poster.
