Qualified candidates must be American chemists who are not younger
than 40 years old prior to Jan. 1, 2010. Nominees must have had
broad impact in the areas of chemical synthesis, method development,
bioorganic/medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences, and/or
molecular recognition.
Nominations should include a letter describing the nominee's
achievements, a brief biography and curriculum vitae, and a list
of the nominee's important published works. Successful nomination
packets include two to three recommendation letters supporting the
candidate.
