Division of Biochemical Technology Young Investigator Award

About this program

The Division of Biochemical Technology (BIOT) of the American Chemical Society sponsors the Young Investigator Award to recognize outstanding early-career contributors to biochemical technology; the prize includes $3,000 for an honorarium and travel to the BIOT annual meeting, a commemorative plaque, and a presentation slot at the ACS meeting. Eligible nominees are independent researchers from academic, industrial, governmental, or non‑profit organizations who are within 10 years of completing their most recent training as of the nomination deadline. Nominations are judged on originality, overall quality, significance to biotechnology, demonstrable independent contributions distinct from trainee work, potential to change the state‑of‑the‑art, publication/technological impact, commercial potential, and societal impact. The award is currently seeking sponsorship; consult the BIOT announcement for current nomination deadlines and submission instructions.
