The Kenneth G. Hancock Memorial Award provides national recognition and honor for outstanding student contributions to furthering the goals of green chemistry and engineering through research and/or studies. This includes but is not limited to the research, development, and implementation of fundamental and innovative chemical technologies that incorporate the principles of green chemistry into chemical design, manufacture, and use, and that have the potential to be utilized in achieving national pollution prevention goals. Undergraduate and graduate students (U.S. or international) are eligible to apply for this award. Recipients of the award receive a one-time cash prize as well as reimbursement for travel costs to attend the annual Green Chemistry and Engineering Conference. Applicants must demonstrate the relevance of their studies and/or research to green chemistry and/or engineering. Applications must describe studies or research in which the student has participated that address the scope and objectives of green and sustainable chemistry and/or engineering. The activity should address one or more principles of green and sustainable chemistry and/or engineering and, more specifically, address one or more of the following three green chemistry focus areas: (1) The use of greener synthetic pathways; (2) The use of greener reaction conditions; (3) The design of greener chemicals. Applicants must submit their name and contact information; name of the applicant's faculty advisor and contact information; the applicant's academic information including institution, department or field of study, degree expected, projected date of degree completion, green chemistry research interests, and career plans; a description of the applicant's research in green chemistry or engineering, addressing one or more of the focus areas; a curriculum vitae or resume; a letter of nomination from the applicant's faculty advisor, supervisor, or department chair; and a brief statement of financial need for travel support from the applicant's advisor, supervisor, or department chair.
