Nine-Month Fellowships provide $21,000. These stipends are paid in nine monthly installments, beginning either on June 1, July 1, August 1, or September 1 of the year awarded, at the recipient's option. Tuition is not to be paid out of the grant, nor is the university permitted to deduct any administrative costs. The student may take regular academic vacations during the Nine-Month Fellowship period, but the accumulated vacation time for the year is not to exceed 20 days. The Nine-Month Fellowship may not be accepted concurrently with any other external fellowship. Summer Fellowships provide $7,000 stipends, paid in three monthly installments beginning on June 1 of the year awarded. The university is encouraged to pay fees and summer tuition when these are required. ELIGIBILITY: The student applicant must be a full-time student working toward a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry and must have completed the second year of graduate study by the time the fellowship period begins. The applicant should be enrolled in a department of chemistry with a Ph.D. program in analytical chemistry; his or her dissertation research must be supervised by an analytical chemistry faculty member who is a member of the ACS DAC. Only one nomination per research supervisor will be accepted. Student applicants must demonstrate outstanding research ability and accomplishment, as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in analytical chemistry. Consequently, the fellowships are normally awarded to students in their third or fourth years of graduate study when they have established a publication record. Applicants for awards in previous years are encouraged to reapply. Previous Nine-Month Fellowship recipients are not eligible for a second award. CITIZENSHIP: Unspecified ACTIVITY LOCATION: United States REQUIREMENTS: Graduate Student ABSTRACT: Nine-Month Fellowships and Summer Fellowships for graduate students in analytical chemistry are sponsored by various companies and organizations and are awarded through the American Chemical Society (ACS) Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC). The purposes of these fellowships are to encourage basic research in the field of analytical chemistry, to promote the growth of analytical chemistry in academic institutions and industry, and to provide recognition of future leaders in the field of analytical chemistry. Most applicants apply for both awards unless mitigating circumstances (previous summer commitments, impending completion of degree requirements, etc.) exist. Nine Month Fellowships support nine months of graduate study and research in analytical chemistry at any ACS-accredited institution of the appointee's choice. Because the purpose of the fellowship is to provide opportunity for research, the holder will not engage in outside work for added compensation during the period of the fellowship. It is expected that the fellow will be engaged in full-time research for the duration of the fellowship and be in residence at the home institution (except when performing collaborative experiments that are part of the funded project). Summer Fellowships provide stipends to support research in analytical chemistry during the summer months.
