The graduate student must be the primary author (faculty advisors may be co-authors). The paper must describe original research (experimental, numerical, or theoretical) or design; papers consisting of literature reviews are not permitted. The paper must be suitable for publication in a refereed journal. The paper must represent a contribution to environmental protection through the application of chemical engineering. Nomination for the award should include a single nomination letter detailing the student's strengths and accomplishments and a single paper contributing to environmental science and engineering fundamentals or applications.
