QSAR - Second Notice for the Hansch Award 2002

SECOND NOTICE

Call for Nominees for the third Annual Hansch Award

Deadline for submitting candidates is 3 August 2002.

The award consists of $1000 (USD), and will be presented to the winner at the 14th European Symposium on QSAR in Bournemouth, UK, during the week of 8-13 September 2002.

Last year's winner was Gabriele Cruciani (University of Perugia). The winner in 2000 was Hua Gao (Pharmacia).

Qualifications:

  a.. A person under the age of 40 years,
  b.. who is active in the field of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships, and
  c.. who has contributed significantly to the field.
 

QSAR is defined broadly, in the same sense that we include papers and posters at the European Symposium on QSAR and the Gordon Research on QSAR. Hence, those who deal with drug design, physical properties, topological indices, molecular models, docking, protein folding, 3D-QSAR, combinatorial library design, similarity analyses, multivariate statistical analyses, and related topics are eligible. In short, any quantitative connection between biological or physical properties and chemical structure that requires computational techniques is appropriate.

To nominate a candidate, please submit:

  a.. a resume of the nominee's career, not more than two pages,
  b.. a bibliography of the nominee (as long as necessary),
  c.. no more than three reprints of the nominee's key publications, i.e., those that form the basis of the nomination, and
  d.. a statement (not more than one page) from the nominator as to why his or her candidate deserves the award.
 

Send these documents to: Dr. J. W. McFarland at one of the addresses given below.

In submitting documents, the nominator should not assume that each of the committee members is aware of the nominee's accomplishments. In cases where the nominee is or has been a member of a well-known and respected research group, there is a danger that the nominee's contributions may not be easily distinguished from those of his or her mentor. Please, indicate how the nominee's contributions are more than an obvious extension of his or her mentor's. A statement from the mentor is acceptable as an additional document.

The final decision will be made by a committee of five experienced workers in the field of QSAR.

For the committee,

J. W. McFarland, Chairman
