Cram Lehn Pedersen Prize in Supramolecular Chemistry

Named in honor of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry winners, the Cram Lehn Pedersen prize recognizes significant, original, and independent work in the field of supramolecular chemistry.

ChemComm, a publishing company specializing in supramolecular chemistry research, sponsors the award.

The winner will receive a monetary honorarium, free registration for the ISMSC meeting and give a lecture at the meeting as well as a short lecture tour organized after the meeting in consultation with the Editor of Chemical Communications.
Those who were awarded their PhD within 10 years of the application year (or who have an award of PhD date together with allowable career interruptions* that would be commensurate with award of their PhD within 10 years) are eligible for the award. (For example, to be eligible for the 2021 award, a person must have received a PhD on or after 1^st January 2010.)

Persons wanting to be considered for the award should be in an independent position and send a CV, list of publications (divided into publications from PhD and post-doc and those from your independent work), and if desired a letter of nomination (recommended) to Prof. Roger Harrison (ISMSC Secretary) at roger_harrison@byu.edu by December 31 before the next ISMSC meeting.

*Allowable career interruptions include primary caregiver’s responsibilities, illness, disability or parental leave and must be outlined in a cover letter with supporting documentation. For parental leave, a flat rate of 18 months will be added to the time since award of the PhD for the primary caregiver and for each child born. The same principle also applies for child adoption. [Supporting documents required: birth certificate(s) or passport(s) of the child(ren), family book or any other official document that links the parent and the child(ren).] For all other allowable career interruptions (or if the actual parental leave actually taken was longer than 18 months per child) then an extension will be granted corresponding to the documented time of the period of leave(s) taken.
