James J. Morgan Early Career Award
Nominations for this award are now closed.
This award is named after James J. Morgan, the first Editor-in-Chief of Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T). It recognizes the contributions of early career researchers who are leading the fields covered by ES&T and ES&T Letters in new directions through creative, new ideas consistent with Morgan’s early contributions.
The award is sponsored by ES&T, ES&T Letters, and the ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry (ENVR). In 2025, this award will recognize a young investigator from the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region of the world.
To make a nomination, complete the form below by July 1, 2024, including a short paragraph of nomination remarks (500 words or less) describing the nominee’s research accomplishments related to this nomination.
Outstanding Achievements in Environmental Science and Technology Award
Nominations for this award are now closed.
This award recognizes contributions to the fields of research central to ES&T, ES&T Letters, and the ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry that have substantially contributed to improvements in human health and/or the environment. These improvements include, but are not limited to, new public policies, devices, or treatment systems widely adopted by governments, industry, or researchers.
The award is sponsored by ES&T, ES&T Letters, and the ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry. In 2025, the award's fifth year, it will recognize a researcher based in the Americas Region.
To make a nomination, complete the form below by July 1, 2024, including a short paragraph of nomination remarks (500 words or less) describing the change in policy, system, device, or technology; the contribution and impact of the nominee's research on this change; and the importance of this change to the field.
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Lectureship Award
Nominations for the 2025 award will open in November 2024—stay tuned for updates.
This annual award recognizes the contributions of early career investigators from around the world who are doing exceptional research that impacts sustainability, green chemistry, or green engineering. Each year one recipient is selected from each of three major geographic regions—the Americas, Europe/the Middle East/Africa, and Asia-Pacific. The award is sponsored by ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute.
