Joanna Fowler Award in the Chemical and Biochemical Sciences

The Joanna Fowler Award in the Chemical and Biochemical Sciences is proposed to recognize an outstanding early career (graduate student or postdoctoral) woman scientist who has advanced the chemical or biochemical sciences through research conducted at, or in collaboration with, Brookhaven National Laboratory.

The awardee(s) will be invited to present a lecture hosted by the Brookhaven Lab Chemistry Division, at which the award of $3,000 will be presented. The award will be advertised to the wider laboratory community to broaden awareness of research in the chemical/biochemistry sciences and impact of woman scientists.

The award will recognize one (or more) young women scientists annually for work conducted while she is/was a graduate student or a postdoctoral research associate who has collaborated with BNL scientists; or worked at BNL as a BNL-funded graduate student or RA; or was a user at a BNL user facility.

Candidates may be based at a U.S. or international institution of higher education or at a U.S. National Laboratory (including Brookhaven) during the period of the work that is recognized. Candidates can be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or foreign nationals.

• Candidates’ research can be in chemistry or any chemically-related biological science or materials science field.
• Candidates can be either graduate students or postdoctoral research associates doing research in the chemical and bio-chemistry fields.

This award is sponsored by the BNL Chemistry Division, the National Synchrotron Light Source II, the Energy and Photon Science directorate’s DE&I council.
