The purpose of the Technical Achievements in Organic Chemistry Program is to recognize outstanding contributions to the field of organic chemistry from accomplished, professional chemists holding a bachelor’s or master’s degree or equivalent. The program has split into these two programs to recognize more individuals:
- The Early Career-Technical Achievements in Organic Chemistry (EC-TAOC) Award is for individuals who are currently pursuing careers in industrial or government sectors and are no more than 10 years from undergraduate (bachelor’s) or graduate (master’s) school
- The Mid Career-Technical Achievements in Organic Chemistry (MC-TAOC) Award is for individuals who are currently pursuing careers in industrial or government sectors and are more than 10 years from undergraduate (bachelor’s) or graduate (master’s) school
Awardees give a 30 minute presentation on their research at the ACS Fall National Meeting and receive their awards at a luncheon on the day of the TAOC symposium.
The 2024 nominations are due Tuesday January 23, 2024. Nominators must be Members or Affiliates of the DOC (use the login button on the website to confirm your membership).
