An award of $1000 will be given to the first 6 graduate students who are lead authors of a peer-reviewed journal paper published or accepted for publication in an established research journal before the end of the third semester of their graduate studies. Publications in open access journals are discouraged and papers appearing in such journals will be carefully scrutinized by the committee. The paper must appear or be accepted in a qualified journal with the impact factor exceeding 1.5.
To apply for the award, submit a copy of the published paper or an acceptance letter and a copy of the paper accepted for publication to the Committee on Graduate Studies of the Otto H. York Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering. For co-lead authors, a statement from the research advisor is also necessary.
