Edward E. Smissman Award

The Edward E. Smissman Award was established in honor of Professor Edward E. Smissman of the University of Kansas, on the occasion of his untimely death in 1974. The award is presented in odd years by the Division of Medicinal Chemistry at the Fall National Meeting of the American Chemical Society. It is given to a living scientist whose research, teaching or service has had a substantial impact on the intellectual and theoretical development of the field of Medicinal Chemistry. The award is funded by a generous contribution from the Bruce E. and Cynthia A. Maryanoff Endowment Fund. Normally, the Award is intended for scientists relatively late in their active scientific careers whereupon a substantial body of creative work is available and sufficient time has passed to place their work in perspective. The award recognizes outstanding contributions to the intellectual and theoretical development of medicinal chemistry through research, teaching, and/or service.
