Hi Amber users-
please excuse my slightly off-topic post, but people usually don't mind
hearing about opportunities for money and recognition of their work and
Amber users have been recipients of these awards several times in the past.
The ACS COMP division gives awards for graduate students and junior faculty
attending the Spring ACS National Meeting in Salt Lake City.
Please forward the info on these awards to anyone that might be interested.
thanks
Carlos

*CCG awards*

Five $1,150 CCG Excellence Student Travel Award Stipends Available for the
Spring 2009 Salt Lake City 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, 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.

The awardees are 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.

To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah,
March 22-26, 2009, an extended abstract of the work (no more than 2 pages),
a two page CV along with a letter of support from the research advisor, and
a personal statement (no more than 1 page) should be sent as pdf or text
files to carlos.simmerling_at_gmail.com

IMPORTANT: APPLICATION MATERIALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 9AM EASTERN TIME ON
OCTOBER 6, 2008.

Applicants will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you
do not receive confirmation by October 8, 2008, please contact the organizer
immediately by telephone (see below).

In addition, you must submit your normal poster abstract to the "Chemical
Computing Group Excellence Award" symposium on the OASYS system (the COMP
OASYS deadline is October 20, 2008 for the Salt Lake City ACS Meeting).

*HP awards*

The HP Outstanding Junior Faculty Award program provides $1,000 to each of
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 HP Outstanding Junior Faculty Awards are invited from all
current tenure-track junior faculty 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, as well as
the level of Departmental support as indicated by a letter of support by the
Chair or Chair designee.

To apply for an award for the ACS National Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah,
March 22-26, 2009, an extended abstract of the work (no more than 2 pages),
a CV and the letter of departmental support should be sent as pdf or text
files to carlos.simmerling_at_gmail.com

IMPORTANT: APPLICATION MATERIALS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 9AM EASTERN TIME ON
OCTOBER 6, 2008.

Applicants will receive email confirmation of receipt of materials. If you
do not receive confirmation by October 8, 2008, please contact the organizer
immediately by telephone (see below).

In addition, you must submit your normal abstract to the "HP Outstanding
Junior Faculty Award" symposium on the OASYS system (the COMP OASYS deadline
is October 20, 2008 for the Salt Lake City ACS Meeting). Note that this is
an abstract for the poster presentation. We also suggest that HP award
applicants submit a separate abstract to OASYS for an oral presentation, in
addition to their poster abstract in the HP award section (note that
acceptance into the oral sessions is not guaranteed).
