Alfred R. Bader Award for Student Innovation

We are pleased to invite Georgia Tech Chemistry and Biochemistry students to participate in the 2014 Aldrich Alfred R. Bader Award for Student Innovation. This was formerly known as the Graduate Student Innovation Awards, or GSIA program; however, as part of Alfred Bader's 90th birthday celebration, we have rechristened the program to honor the founder of Aldrich.  We are aiming to host the awards presentation and visit in mid-August.

As you might remember from previous years, we are seeking applicants who have completed at least 3 full years of graduate work in the field of synthetic chemistry or chemical biology.  The applicants must be able to attend and make a presentation on her/his graduate research at the Award Symposium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is tentatively scheduled for August 21, 2014.  We are not restricting the number of applicants from any one institution, but we are limiting entries to the first 200 submissions, so please make sure all qualifying candidates from your department are notified.

I have attached a two-sided flyer which outlines this year’s program and contains the official entry form on the back.  Also attached is the template for students to submit their research summaries.  I can provide the official rules for the Alfred Bader Award program to anyone on request.

Please feel free to contact me directly if there are any questions or concerns. Thank you for your time, and best of luck to your students!

Sincerely,

-Mark

THE UNCF● MERCK SCIENCE INITIATIVE

It's a Chance of a Lifetime Through an Extraordinary Partnership

UMSI brings together UNCF, The Merck Company Foundation and Merck Global Diversity Inclusion to offer 37 annual awards to outstanding African American students and postdoctoral researchers:

• 15 undergraduate scholarships
• 12 graduate dissertation fellowships
• 10 postdoctoral research fellowships

But besides funds for tuition, room and board and fees, there's also institutional support through grants to the science departments of award recipients and research grants. And along with knowledge, you'll develop a career, with hands-on research training, mentoring relationships and networking and career advancement through the Association of UNCF/Merck Fellows.
African Americans hold less than three percent of PhDs in biology, chemistry and engineering today. Opportunities created by UMSI aim to increase the numbers of minority students in sciences and engineering.
Thanks to UMSI, more than 500 students and scholars have found support, knowledge, careers and advancement
