Call for Nominations for Seventh A OCS .$2,500 Award in Lipid Chemistry

Sponsored by Applied Science Laboratories In April 1964 the Governing Board of the American

Oil Chemists' Society established an Award in Lipid ChemistiT under the sponsorship of the Applied Science Laboratories Inc., State College, Pennsylvania. Previous awards were presented as follows: Erich Baer, August 1964; Ernest Klenk, October 1965; H. E. Carter, October 1966; Sune Bergstrom, October 1967; Daniel Swern, October 1968 and l=i. J. Dutton, October 1969.

The award consists of $2,500 accompanied by an appropriate certificate. I t is now planned that the seventh award will be presented at the AOCS Fall Meeting in Chicago, Illinois, Sept. 27-0ct. 1, 1970.

Canvassing Committee Appointees Policies and procedures governing the selection of

award winners have been set forth by the AOCS Governing Board. An Award Nomination Canvassing Committee has been appointed. I ts membership is L. hi. Norcia, Chairman; J. G. Coniglio, Morris Kates, J. C. Hamilton and F. T. Lindgren. The function of this committee is to solicit nominations for the seventh award. Selection os the award winner will be made by the Award Committee whose membership will re- main anonymous.

Rules The rules prescribe that nominees shall have been

responsible for the accomplishment of original re-

search in lipid chemistry and must have presented the results thereof through publication of technical papers of high quality. Preference will be given to individuals who are actively associated with research in lipid chem- istry and who have made fundamental discoveries that affect a large segment of the lipid field. For award purposes, the term "lipid chemistry" is considered to embrace all aspects of the chemistry and biochemistry of fatty acids, of naturally occurring and synthetic com- pounds and derivatives of fatty acids, and of compounds that are related to fatty acids metabolically, or occur naturally in close association with fatty acids or deriva- tives thereof. The award will be made without regard for national origin, race, color, creed or sex.

Letters of nomination together with supporting docu- ments must be submitted in octuplicate to L. N. Norcia, Temple University, Health Science Center, School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19140, before the deadline date of April 15, 1970. The supporting docu- ments shall consist of professional biographical data, including a summary of the nominee's research accom- plishments, a list of his publications, the degrees he holds, together with the names of the granting institu- tions, and the positions held during his professional career. There is no requirement that either the nominator or the nominee be a member of the American Oil Chemists' Society.
