TDRM STUDENT AWARD

At the annual meeting, a Student Award was approved for the purpose of promoting awareness of the need for method performance evaluation at an earlier point in a chemist's career. The award will be based upon a report that evaluates either the use of a reference material for method performance evaluation or the development of a new reference material. The award, in the amount of $500, will be offered annually on an international basis to the student whose report scores highest through the evaluation process. For award recipients who attend the annual meeting, a $250 travel grant will be issued, and the meeting registration fee and up to $500 in hotel expenses will be paid. In addition, one year's membership in the AOAC and TDRM will be provided. The award will begin with competition for 2004, with notification of intent to complete due by 12/31 of each year.

Eligibility requirements and instructions for applying for this award are available online at this link: AOAC TDRM Student Award
