2012 IUPAC Richter-Prize-Call for Nominations
Call for Nominations
The 2012 IUPAC-Richter Prize will be presented in May 19-23, 2012 at the ACS National Medicinal Chemistry Symposium at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where the recipient will also give a plenary lecture on the subject of his/her research. The recipient is required to repeat the lecture at a medicinal chemistry Symposium in Europe.
It is anticipated that a contribution will be made to travel expenses but this cannot be guaranteed.
The prize is to be awarded to an internationally recognized scientist, preferably a medicinal chemist, whose activities or published accounts have made an outstanding contribution to the practice of medicinal chemistry or to an outstanding example of new drug discovery.
Prize USD 10 000
The Prize has been established by a generous gift from the Chemical Works of Gedeon Richter PLC. (Budapest, Hungary) to acknowledge the key role that medicinal chemistry plays in improving human health.
Applicants should be received by NOMINATION only, with just one person needing to serve in that capacity, although a total of five (5) individuals should be listed as referees overall. The package must be submitted electronically and should contain a complete resume, a professional autobiography of not more than two pages, and a one-page summary of what the individual considers to be his/her activities, accomplishments and/or publications that have had the most significant impact upon the field of Medicinal Chemistry. The material will be forwarded confidentially to an independent selection committee appointed by the IUPAC Subcommittee on Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Development.
The call for nominations for the 2012 IUPAC-Richter Prize is now open.
