From CHMINF-L:

We are happy to announce the launch of the Reaxys PhD Prize, a competition for candidates currently studying for a PhD or having completed a PhD within the last 12 months in organic, inorganic, and organometallic chemistry.

The prize will be awarded to the candidates that demonstrate excellence in methodology and approach in a peer-reviewed publication. Three prize winners will each receive a check for $2000 and be invited to present their research at the Winners' Symposium, held at the EuCheMS meeting in Nuremberg, Germany on August 30, 2010.

All entries will be reviewed by a review board of leading international chemists, chaired by the following members of the Reaxys Advisory Board:
• Dr. P. Kocis - former Global Head Exploratory Chemistry, AstraZeneca
• Professor H. Kunz - University of Mainz, Germany
• Professor H. N. C. Wong - Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China

Submissions will be reviewed based upon originality, innovation, importance to the field, applicability, rigor of approach and publication quality.

All submissions must include a PhD Supervisor letter of recommendation, a CV and a representative peer-reviewed piece of published research.

Please pass this information on to your faculty encouraging their students to submit their application.
