We invite Organic Division members to submit nominations for the ACS National Awards, particularly those relevant to organic chemistry (listed below and the Purpose and Eligibility (PDF) are available via the link). Your actions will demonstrate that the Society is committed to the pursuit of excellence in the chemical sciences by recognizing, promoting, and honoring outstanding contributions. Please note that you are encouraged to nominate of individuals from groups not commonly named as recipients of the National Awards, such as chemists from industry; chemists from National Laboratories; faculty members at universities not well-represented in the ACS Awards Program; and individuals underrepresented in chemistry. You can access the nomination system at: https://www.nominate.acs.org. The deadline for nominations is November 1, 2025.
