ACS Macro Letters / Biomacromolecules / Macromolecules Early Career Award
Nomination Status: Open
Nomination Deadline: December 1, 2026
This award recognizes two outstanding early career investigators conducting research in any area of fundamental polymer or biopolymer science. For the purpose of this award, “early career researcher” is defined as a graduate student, post doc, or practicing scientist no more than 10 years from the start of their independent academic or industrial career. Anyone who has taken an official leave of absence may subtract that time from the limit.
This award is presented in collaboration with ACS Macro Letters, Biomacromolecules, and Macromolecules, in partnership with the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry.
