Am I to send a hard copy along with the PDF?
No, a PDF is fine. Just make sure to use a subject line of “ACS Travel Awards” so that it’s easily distinguishable.

Can I apply for the travel award if I am presenting a paper in a differnet division other than the DBC?
I’ll ask the program chair and post the answer here. My instinct is yes, as long as it’s generally in the field of biological chemistry, but I’ll get confirmation.
Here’s the decision. Others may apply, but preference will be given to presenters within the division.
Can I apply for the award if I give an oral presentation rather than a poster?
Yes, you may.
By approximately what time do we get information regarding the decision for travel award?
I’m asking the division officers and will get back to you when I find out!

I am a student in Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. I do some organics analysis in biological samples such as fish, clams, and crabs. I am platform presenter in this national meeting. Can I apply for this award?
When will we get the results about the application for the travel award?
Hi Lex, The program chair tells me that he’s working on this presently. –Paul, Webmaster
If I did not get the travel award, will I still be notified of the decision? Thanks!
