The ACS Division of Medicinal Chemistry announces the continuation of its annual Predoctoral Fellowship program. We anticipate that several $35,000 fellowships may be awarded in each year. The awards are for predoctoral students in their third or fourth year of graduate study (second or third year of graduate study at the time of application) engaged in medicinal chemistry research in a Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Chemistry department listed in the current ACS Directory of Graduate Research. Mentors for all applicants must be members in good standing of the Division of Medicinal Chemistry. Funds used to support predoctoral fellowships are to be used solely for stipend support for the awardee.
Nominations should be submitted by the applicant’s Ph.D. advisor and should include a complete student curriculum vitae, including education and work experience; a student bibliography, including reprints of articles; a complete project description including rationale prepared by the candidate (five-page limit); transcripts of all post-high school work, including Graduate Record Examination scores (if available); three letters, including a nomination letter from the student's research advisor; and a letter from a university official with a commitment to cover tuition and all fees granted to other regular graduate students. Nominations should be submitted online as a single .pdf file by February 1.
