Nina McClelland Memorial Award Grant

The Nina McClelland Memorial Award supports postdoctoral scholars from U.S. and international institutions to attend the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference. Nina McClelland, a leader in green chemistry. Two $2,000 awards are given annually to help cover travel expenses. Winners must present their work and submit a report on their conference experience, contributing to significant innovations in green chemistry and engineering.

Purpose
The Nina McClelland Memorial Awards sponsor the participation of postdoctoral scholars from both U.S. and international institutions to attend the annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference and present their work in a talk or poster.
Description
The Nina McClelland Memorial Award was established in 2021 in honor of Dr. Nina McClelland – a prominent champion of green chemistry. Award funds are designated specifically to reimburse travel expenses, and winning postdoctoral scholars will be recognized at the annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference sponsored by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute(ACS GCI). Two $2,000 awards will be provided each year.
Conference Participation
Award winners are responsible for meeting the abstract deadline date for the annual Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference where the awards symposium and ceremony will be held. Winners should be prepared to give an oral or poster presentation relevant to their research. In addition, after the conclusion of the conference, all winners are required to submit a brief report that summarizes their conference experience.
