Student Travel Awards
The DIC is accepting applications for student travel awards for graduate and undergraduate students presenting research talks or posters at ACS National Meetings. The amount of the award is $450.00. The deadline for receipt of applications is January 15 for the Spring ACS National Meeting, and June 1 for the Fall ACS National Meeting. Winners will be notified by March 1 and August 1, respectively, for the Spring and Fall meetings.
Selection process: Applications submitted by undergraduate researchers, graduate students in the first two years of their PhD and graduate students in the final years of their PhD will be reviewed separately. Within each category, the selection process will be based on scientific merit. Preference will be given to applicants who have not been awarded a Student Travel Award previously.
Eligibility: 1. The student must be a member of the DIC and must present his/her paper in the DIC program. Students who are not making presentations are ineligible. 2. Only one nomination will be accepted per research group for each meeting. Exceptions may be granted for collaborative projects.
Application Procedure: Use the linked questionnaire (travelgrantappform.pdf or travelgrantappform.doc) as a cover page for your application package. Please make sure to complete it in its entirety. The following items should be submitted after the form in this order: 1) A proof of your current ACS and DIC membership status, such as a copy of your receipt or a printout of “My Account” from acs.org showing your active divisional membership in DIC (you must log on to access this). 2) An abstract of the work to be presented in the DIC program with authors and affiliations listed and presenting author underlined. 3) A resume or CV, including a list of publications and presentations. 4) A recommendation letter from your research advisor (if your advisor prefers this to remain confidential, please have him/her, or a third party, submit the application on your behalf)
The application must be saved as a SINGLE pdf file and emailed as an attachment to [email protected] . Please, use the applicant’s last name to name the pdf file. Please note that [email protected] email address is not consistently monitored. Accordingly, questions concerning the application process should be directed to the Award co-Chairs: http://acsdic.org/officers.htm (scroll to bottom of page for a link to full contact information).

During my time as Chair-Elect, Chair, and this year as Past Chair of the Division of Inorganic Chemistry, I saw growth and expansion of membership, vibrant programming, and members eager to participate as speakers, symposium organizers, poster presenters, and volunteers. The Executive Committee has done a fantastic job pushing the division forward with innovative activities, strategic planning, and numerous prestigious awards given to our members and to the Division. As my term as Past Chair is nearly complete, I would like to thank everyone involved in the DIC for an outstanding job, especially the current Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer who worked very hard this past year to move the DIC forward!

Philatelically speaking, it is surprising that, un?l very recently, Roald Hoffmann only appeared on astamp of dubious origin that is not listed in the Sco$ Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue.

DIVISION OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY ! WWW.ACSDIC.ORG21
ABOUT THE ACS DIC
The Division of Inorganic Chemistry represents a diverse body of scientists who come together to understand and promote the richness of the chemistry of the elements. Molecular biologists, materials scientists, and many types of chemists are members of this division. Due to the diversity of interests among our members, four subdivisions are available for membership in addition to the general membership in the Division.
The Division has several responsibilities: the development and coordination of programming of interest to our members at national meetings; continuing improvement in the education of current and future chemists in the beauty of inorganic chemistry and the value of chemistry in general; representation of our members' interests to the ACS through the election of Councilors and other positions; and maintaining the fiscal health of the Division to support all other activities. The Division usually has one of the largest technical programs at the national meetings.
The goals of the ACS Division of Inorganic Chemistry:1. To advance the science of Inorganic Chemistry.2. To provide an organization within which close contact among chemists interested in Inorganic Chemistry can
be maintained.3. To arrange programs dealing with Inorganic Chemistry for the National Meetings of the ACS.4. To organize and conduct symposia on special topics in Inorganic Chemistry at times and places designated by
the Executive Committee of the DIC.5. To promote the teaching of Inorganic Chemistry at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Selected areas of chemistry in which the Division's activities are focused:
Organometallic Chemistry. Includes the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of main group, transition metal, and rare earth organometallic compounds, and the applications of such compounds in organic synthesis, inorganic synthesis, and catalysis.Bioinorganic Chemistry. Includes all aspects of the chemistry of the metallic elements and small inorganic molecules in biological systems.Solid-State and Materials Chemistry. Includes the synthesis, characterization, and physical and chemical properties of solids that contain metallic and/or main group elements.Coordination Chemistry. Includes the synthesis, characterization, and physical and chemical properties of classical coordination compounds.Nanoscience. Includes the synthesis, characterization, and physical and chemical properties of nanostructured materials (inorganic nanocrystals, inorganic-organic hybrid materials etc.).
