News and Announcements Cognis Corporation Research Fellowship in Colloid and Surface Chemistry The Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry of the American Chemical Society is pleased to invite applications for the Cognis Corporation Graduate Research Fellowship in Colloid and Surface Chemistry sponsored by the Cognis Corporation. Each fellowship will consist of an award of $20,000 each year for two years, to be used entirely for the Fellow’s stipend, scientific travel, and other direct research costs. The award is intended to support outstanding graduate students during their final two years (preferably, their third and fourth years) of doctoral thesis research. This research must represent a significant advance in understanding fundamental chemical and physical processes in interfacial systems. Applicants must be enrolled in a full-time graduate program leading to a Ph.D. degree at an accredited university within the United States. Applicants must independently prepare a proposal based on their thesis research plans and containing: (1) A100-word research proposal abstract. (2) A detailed research proposal (eight double-spaced pages maximum), including (a) background and literature survey, (b) specific project goals, (c) methods and critical scientific decision points, and (d) required equipment and supplies. (3) A brief (one or two paragraphs) statement of career goals and how this fellowship can contribute to achieving these goals. (4) A project budget delineating the distribution of funds between stipend, travel, equipment, supplies, and other direct costs and a letter of budget certification from the Department Chair (the funds may not be used for overhead costs, or tuition and fees, which must be waived by the university). (5) A curriculum vitae, reprints of the applicant’s publications, and undergraduate and graduate transcripts. (6) Letters of recommendation from the research advisor and two additional references (Research Advisor to include a statement of available research facilities). For funding to commence in the Fall Semester, 2002, three copies of the above documents must be submitted by the deadline of February 1, 2002, to the Selection Committee representative: Professor Mark A.
