The ACS Division of Organic Chemistry (DOC) wishes to congratulate the winners of the 2025 Early Career and Mid-Career Investigator Awards. These scientists will present their work at the ACS National Meeting held in Washington, D.C. in two dedicated full day symposia both starting at 8 AM. The Mid-Career Investigator Award symposium will be held on Monday, August 18th in Walter E. Washington Convention Center Room 144C. The Early Career Investigator Award symposium will be held on Tuesday, August 19th in Walter E. Washington Convention Center Room 145A and is jointly organized with ANYL and MEDI. Thanks to Steve Silverman and Steve Wisniewski who are Organizers for these programs. The committee members who worked to help solicit applications and select the awardees are also deeply appreciated by the division.

The Early Career Investigator Award (ECI) recognizes independent and non-academic investigators (e.g. industry, government or non-profit laboratory) who are no more than 10 years from graduate school or post-doctoral appointment. These individuals have demonstrated outstanding promise for future contributions to Organic Chemistry. In 2025, the Early Career Investigator Award was expanded to include MEDI and ANYL.
The Mid-Career Investigator (MCI) Award program recognizes scientists who are more than 10 years from graduate school or post-doctoral appointment and are a current researcher in a non-academic setting (e.g. industry, government or non-profit laboratory) who have demonstrated sustained excellence in Organic Chemistry.
