The Inter-American Photochemical Society Young Investigator Award was established in 2002 to recognize outstanding photoscientific contributions by Society members who have held an independent research position for no more than five years at the time of application. The 2003 I-APS Young Investigator Award will be presented at the 14th I-APS Winter Conference to be held in Clearwater Beach, Florida in January 2003. The winner will present an award lecture and will receive up to $1000 to help cover expenses for participation in the Conference.
Applicants should provide a statement of independent research accomplishments and a curriculum vitae that includes the date of appointment to an independent research position and lists of publications, funding, and awards. Each applicant should arrange to have two letters of recommendation sent directly to the Chair of the I-APS Awards Committee. In addition to regular mail, documents may be sent as Adobe Acrobat PDF files attached to an e-mail message. The deadline for receipt of applications is September 4, 2002.

The Society established the honor of Fellowship in 1993. Fellowship recognizes outstanding lifetime scientific achievements in photochemistry or contributions to either the science of photochemistry as a discipline or the furtherance of the society through service. Fellowship is limited to 4% of the membership of the Society and no more than two Fellows can be elected in a given year. Fellows may be requested to make a short presentation at the next Winter Conference and will receive a waiver of membership dues.
Nominations should include a statement describing the merit of the contribution to be recognized and should state clearly whether the award is for contributions in science or service. Seconding letters are not required, but may be submitted. Nominees should be members of the Society. Exceptions to this requirement require special justification by the nominator. All documents should be forwarded to the Chair of the Awards Committee at the address below. In addition to regular mail, documents may be sent as Adobe Acrobat PDF files attached to an e-mail message. The deadline for receipt of nominations is September 4, 2002.

Professor Gerhard L. Closs was one of the outstanding chemists of this century, receiving the 1991 A. C. Cope Award in chemistry from the American Chemical Society and the 1992 Award in Photochemistry from the Inter-American Photochemical Society. In addition to his contributions in photochemistry and other areas of chemistry, his contributions to the intellectual and social life of the chemical community are also fondly remembered. Most notably, Professor Closs was a devoted teacher and mentor. It is in remembrance of that spirit that the Inter-American Photochemical Society solicits contributions from graduate and undergraduate students for oral presentation at the I-APS Winter Conference on any subject involving the excited states of molecules. The winner will receive travel expenses (up to $500) to attend the meeting and present his/her paper.
To apply for the Closs Award a student must: (1) submit a one page abstract for his/her paper, (2) submit a curriculum vitae, and (3) arrange to have his/her research advisor write a letter of recommendation sent to the Conference Co-Chair at the address given below. All application materials must be received no later than October 1, 2002. The winner of the Closs Award will be decided by November 1, 2002 and will be notified immediately.
