ASMS Awards

ASMS sponsors the following prestigious awards:

The Award for a Distinguished Contribution in Mass Spectrometry The Award recognizes a focused, singular achievement in or contribution to fundamental or applied mass spectrometry, in contrast to awards that recognize lifetime achievement. The person nominated should have made a contribution that has had a significant impact on the fundamental understanding and/or practice of mass spectrometry. Eligibility is not restricted to members of ASMS. The award is announced at the ASMS Annual Conference with the presentation of a $10,000 cash award and a recognition plaque. Nominations will be held for three years.
The Biemann Medal recognizes a significant achievement in basic or applied mass spectrometry made by an individual early in his or her career. Nominees should be within 15 years of receipt of the Ph.D. at the time they are nominated. The award is presented in honor of Professor Klaus Biemann whose lasting legacy is the training of students and postdoctoral associates over a 40-year period at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Biemann Medal is endowed by contributions from students, postdoctoral associates and friends of Professor Biemann. Eligibility is not restricted to members of ASMS. The award is conferred at the ASMS Annual Conference with the presentation of the Biemann Medal and a cash award of $5,000. Nominations must be renewed each year.

Research Awards in the amount of $25,000 each are presented annually. Two awards are fully sponsored by Thermo Scientific and Waters Corporation. The Research Awards were originated by Robert Finnigan in 1985. The purpose of the awards is to promote academic research by young scientists in mass spectrometry.

The Ron A. Hites Award is given annually for an exemplary paper published in the previous two volumes of the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry. The Award recognizes a high quality presentation of outstanding original research. Papers may be nominated by anyone who reads JASMS. Nominations may be submitted through the ASMS web site and should include a nomination letter not to exceed one page. Individuals may submit one nomination letter per year. The deadline for nomination for a given year is January 31.
