Call for Applications: 2012 National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in Department of Chemistry at Syracuse University
The National Science Foundation, who makes REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) possible, gives undergraduates the opportunity to join research projects for the summer. This allows students to experience first-hand how basic research is carried out, and to contribute consequentially.
2012 Session Information: June 4, 2012 - August 10, 2012 Syracuse University - Syracuse, New York
Stipend: Each participant will receive a summer scholarship of $4,500.
Benefits: All participants will receive university housing at no additional expense in addition to a travel and conference reimbursement (if applicable).
Research Areas: Students have the opportunity to do research in any of the following areas: Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Solid-State Science, Chemical Physics, Surface Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, Materials Science, X-ray Diffraction, and others.
Eligibility: The program is open to all students who have completed their first year of study and who have a serious interest in chemistry. Most students will have completed their junior years, although talented students with less experience will also be considered for acceptance in the program.
Application Deadline: March 1, 2012

Call for Applications: 2012 National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Tech
Chemistry and Biochemistry undergraduate majors are invited to apply for a ten-week (May 21- July 27, 2012) research program sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF-REU) and 3M Corporation. Program participants will receive a stipend of $5,000, a travel allowance, and housing.* Participants supported by NSF and 3M must be US citizens or permanent residents of the US.
Each research student carries out a research project under the direction of a faculty member in School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Tech. Projects are available in analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, physical, and polymer chemistry. Contributions by undergraduate participants often result in publication of papers in the peer-reviewed literature with the student listed as an author.
*Pending funding from the National Science Foundation and 3M Corporation
Deadline for applications is Feb. 15, 2012. But early submissions are encouraged!
Notification of awards will be made by March 30, 2012.
Call for Nominations: Tetrahedron Prize for Creativity in Organic Chemistry
Submission of Nominations: Deadline: 31st March, 2012.
Nominations should consist of a covering letter summarising the achievements of the individual (max. 1,500 words), a brief biographical sketch of the nominee, a list of no more than 25 publications and up to two seconding letters of support.
Apart from the reservations made above, nominations are welcomed for candidates of all ages and nationalities for the award of the Tetrahedron Prize. The Prize jury is made up of the Executive Board of Editors of Tetrahedron Publications. Members of the Executive Board may not be candidates, nor make nominations. Consulting Editors, who do not have an executive function and do not vote for the Prize, are eligible candidates.
For further information on the Tetrahedron Prize, please contact:
Diddel Francissen, Executive Publisher, Elsevier, Chemistry. Email: d.francissen@elsevier.com ABOUT THE TETRAHEDRON PRIZE
The Tetrahedron Prize for Creativity in Organic Chemistry was established in 1980 by the Executive Board of Editors and the Publisher of Tetrahedron Publications. It is intended to honour the memory of the founding co-Chairmen of these publications, Professor Sir Robert Robinson and Professor Robert Burns Woodward.
The Tetrahedron Prize is awarded on an annual basis for creativity in Organic Chemistry. The prize consists of a gold medal, a citation, and a monetary award of US $10,000. It is awarded to an Organic Chemist who has made significant original contributions to the field, in its broadest sense. On some occasions, the Prize may be awarded jointly to two winners in which case two medals are presented. The winner is expected to write an appropriate article for Tetrahedron or Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry as part of a Symposium-in-Print compiled in their honour.
