Nominations Sought for AOAC Awards
AOAC International is seeking nominations for the Harvey W. Wiley Award and for recognition as a Fellow of AOAC International. The AOAC Awards Program recognizes significant contributions to the analytical science community and to AOAC itself.
The Harvey W. Wiley Award is presented to a scientist (or group of scientists) who has made an outstanding contribution to analytical method development in an area of interest to AOAC International. The recipient is selected from nominations received from members of the analytical science community, with nominations accepted year round. All nominating materials for the 2016 Harvey W. Wiley Awards must be received no later than January 31, 2015.
The Fellow of AOAC International Award recognizes meritorious service to the Association. This award is given to members of AOAC whose volunteer efforts have significantly contributed to the success and prestige of the Association.
