The deadline for receipt of applications for the CCG Excellence Awards for graduate student travel to the New Orleans ACS national meeting (10/15/02) is rapidly approaching.  Winners receive a one-year software license of CCG's MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) for their academic research groups, in addition to travel costs. Awardees are chosen on the basis of the quality and significance of the research to be presented _within the COMP Division program_ and the strength of the supporting materials. The CCG Excellence Awards were created to stimulate graduate student participation in COMP Division symposia and poster sessions at ACS National Meetings.   

Prior to an ACS National Meeting, an applicant must first follow the steps for OASYS abstract submission to the COMP Division program by the division's deadline (11/15/02). The following materials must also be submitted, to the COMP Treasurer (by 10/15/02 for the New Orleans meeting in Spring 2003):
1) An extended abstract of the presentation
2) A letter of recommendation from the research advisor
3) A personal statement from the applicant

Information on Fall 2002 winners and deadlines for the CCG Excellence Awards for the Spring 2003 ACS meeting in New Orleans are also posted on the COMP Division web site.
