Dionysios Dionysiou Established Investigator Award (ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry)

About this program

The ACS Division of Environmental Chemistry offers the Dionysios Dionysiou Established Investigator Award to honor sustained, distinguished contributions to environmental chemistry by mid‑career and established investigators (10–30 years post‑graduate/postdoc); one annual award includes a plaque and $2,000 and the recipient is expected to attend the Spring ACS National Meeting for recognition. Nominees must have at least five years of ENVR membership and be nominated by an ENVR member (self‑nominations permitted). Selection is weighted 50% on an outstanding research record (excellence in basic/applied research, publications/patents, commercialization, reputation) and 50% on impactful contributions to ENVR governance, programming, outreach, and service. Nominations (typically accepted Aug 1–Oct 1) require a single‑PDF package with nominator/nominee details, a ≤1,000‑word nomination letter, two ≤1,000‑word support letters, and the nominee’s full CV with a prioritized publication list; consult the nomination form for submission instructions.
