Candidates must have achieved one of the following: conceptualized and developed unique instrumentation, developed novel and important instrumentation or methods, elucidated fundamental important events or processes, or published influential research papers or books. The Arthur F. Findeis Award for Achievements by a Young Analytical Scientist, sponsored by Philip Morris, recognizes outstanding contributions to analytical chemistry by a young analytical scientist who has accomplished one of the following: conceptualized and developed unique instrumentation that has substantially advanced the field; developed significant analytical methodologies for use in the chemical sciences; elucidated fundamental events or processes pertinent to analytical chemistry; authored books, patents,
and/or research papers that have influenced the development of analytical chemistry; or made other significant contributions that have furthered analytical chemical sciences. The awardee must have earned his or her highest degree before Jan. 1, 2001. Each award consists of a $4000 honorarium, a plaque, and a $1000 travel allowance for the Fall 2001 ACS National Meeting, where the awards will be presented. The Findeis Award will be presented at the Eastern Analytical Symposium in November 2001. Nominating documents should include a letter of recommendation, one or more seconding letters, and a brief biographical sketch emphasizing the candidate’s accomplishments. Nomination materials, which should not exceed 12 pages, should be sent in one package by Sept. 1, 2000, to
