THIS IS THE FINAL SET of vignettes of recipients of awards administered by the American Chemical Society for 2009. A profile of M. Frederick Hawthorne, 2009 Priestley Medalist, is scheduled to appear in the March 23 issue of C&EN along with his award address.
Manfred T. Reetz, winner of the Arthur C. Cope Award, and most other national award winners will be honored at an awards ceremony that will be held on Tuesday, March 24, in conjunction with the 237th national meeting in Salt Lake City.
The Cope Award recognizes and encourages excellence in organic chemistry; it consists of a medal, a cash prize of $25,000, and an unrestricted research grant of $150,000 to be assigned by the recipient to any university or research institution. Each Cope Scholar Award consists of $5,000, a certificate, and an unrestricted research grant of $40,000. Arthur C. Cope and Arthur C. Cope Scholar Awards are sponsored by the Arthur C. Cope Fund.
