The Division of Analytical Chemistry of the American Chemical Society has established the Pfizer Graduate Travel Awards in Analytical Chemistry. The award provides funding for graduate students to travel to an ACS National Meeting and to present the results of their research in the form of a poster at the Poster Session of the Division of Analytical Chemistry. Funds from the Pfizer Award may be applied toward registration, travel, and accommodations. Only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible. Preference will be given to those applicants who have not made a previous presentation at a National scientific meeting. Five Awards up to $1000 will be made annually on the basis of both scientific merit and financial need.
Past award recipients are listed below.

The deadline for receipt of applications is September 1, 2006, for participation in the Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry in Chicago, February 25 to March 1, 2007. Important: Abstracts for the poster presentation must be submitted to the PittCon by August 1, 2006. A Pfizer Graduate Travel Award application is only possible if an abstract was submitted by the August 1 deadline.
