George Jeffrey Award

(assistance for outstanding graduate students to attend the Congress of the IUCr)

This fund was established in memory of George A. Jeffrey. The first awards were made at the Geneva IUCr Congress (August, 2002). Applications are invited world-wide. These must be from graduate students in good standing at the time of the Congress.

Applications for the 2023 IUCR Congress in Melbourne, Australia, must include:

• A one-page letter explaining the student's background and any special circumstances in support of the application.

• Letters of recommendation from the student's mentor and from one other person familiar with the student's crystallographic abilities and background. The mentor should state the expected date for the student's graduation.

• A one-page biographical sketch of the student.

• Copies of any reprints, preprints or abstracts in which the student is an author.

• An abstract with the student as first author, which has been submitted to the program of the IUCr Congress.

• The student's e-mail address.

Applications should be sent to the secretary of the Pittsburgh Diffraction Society, Allen Oliver, at AOliver2@nd.edu. The important criteria will be the scientific excellence of the student's research, the student's financial need and the student's proficiency in English, which is the official language of the Congress. The Jeffrey Award will cover at least the student's registration fee and the cost of student housing.
