Update: 2025 nominations are now open!

ACS Publications journal lectureships and awards recognize a mix of early career and established investigators who have made significant contributions to research in their fields.

We invite you to explore both current and past awards in Polymer Chemistry, and submit your own nominations for 2025.

CURRENT OPEN NOMINATIONS:

ACS Macro Letters/Biomacromolecules/Macromolecules Young Investigator Award

We are now accepting nominations for 2025 through December 1, 2024.

This award honors the contribution of two early-career researchers who have made a major impact on the field of polymer science. Each winner will receive an award plaque, an honorarium of $3,000 USD, and registration and travel funding to ACS Fall 2025.

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 is awarded in collaboration with ACS Macro Letters, Biomacromolecules, and Macromolecules and co-sponsored by the ACS Division of Polymer Chemistry.
