CCP Award

Catalysis Club of Philadelphia Award

Each year, the Catal­y­sis Club of Philadel­phia rec­og­nizes an out­stand­ing mem­ber of the catal­y­sis com­mu­ni­ty who has made sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions to the advance­ment of catal­y­sis. Such advance­ment can be sci­en­tif­ic, tech­no­log­i­cal, or in orga­ni­za­tion­al lead­er­ship. The Award con­sists of a plaque and a $1,000 cash prize. The win­ner will also be invit­ed to give a talk.

We appre­ci­ate your help in sub­mit­ting nom­i­na­tions. The entire nom­i­na­tion pack­age, includ­ing a resume and at least two rec­om­men­da­tion let­ters, should not exceed 10 pages and should include a ½-page ten­ta­tive award announce­ment.
