The Ichikizaki
Fund for Young Chemists
The Ichikizaki Fund for
Young Chemists provides financial assistance to young chemists who are showing
unique achievements in basic research by facilitating their participation in
international conferences or symposia.
To be eligible for an
award, an applicant must:
- Be a member of the
Canadian Society for Chemistry or the Chemical Society of Japan;
- Not have passed
his/her 34th birthday as of December 31 of the year in which the application
is submitted;
- Have a research
specialty in synthetic organic chemistry;
- Be scheduled to
attend, within one year, an international conference or symposium directly
related to synthetic organic chemistry;
Deadlines:
- December 31, for
conferences scheduled between January 1 and December 31, of the following
year;
The number of
applications to be recommended by the society is limited to 10 per year.
Although the awards are intended primarily for established researchers,
applications from post-graduate students and post-doctoral fellows will be
considered. However, only one application per year from a post-graduate student
can be recommended to the Fund.
The maximum value of any
one award is $10,000. Successful applicants may, however, re-apply in subsequent
years, provided the cumulative total of all awards does not exceed $15,000.
Applications should
include a résumé, copies of recent research papers, the title and brief
description of the conference the applicant wishes to attend, the title (and
abstract, if available) of the research paper the applicant intends to present
and a proposed budget. Applications from post-graduate students must be
accompanied by a letter of reference from the research supervisor. Recipients of
awards must submit a report immediately after a conference.
