Crystallography and structural science have been and continue to be on the forefront of major discoveries in the life sciences, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. The American Crystallographic Association, Inc. (ACA) is the home for over 1,000 structural scientists all over the world who are united by the common purpose to “promote interactions among scientists who study the structure of matter at atomic (or near atomic) resolution”.

 

 

Membership in the ACA is open to any person who is actively interested in the purposes of the Association. The ACA welcomes everyone from students to retirees. All of our members contribute to the life and vigor of the Association.  Read about all of the benefits that an ACA membership can bring to you...

The ACA recognizes distinguished achievement in the field of crystallography through the presentation of various annual awards and prizes. The ACA relies on its experienced membership to recognize and bring attention to the accomplishments and contributions of their fellow members and colleagues.

In addition to nominating an ACA Fellow, there are three award categories honoring individuals for distinction in the field of crystallography and structural science and this year we are accepting nominations for the following :

Bertram Eugene Warren Diffraction Physics Award:  To recognize an important recent contribution to the physics of solids or liquids using X-ray, neutron, or electron diffraction techniques. Works published within a six-year period ending June 30 of the year preceding the Award may be nominated. 

M.J Buerger Award: To recognize mature scientists who have made contributions of exceptional distinction in areas of interest to the ACA. There are no restrictions as to nationality, race, sex, religion, or membership in the ACA.

Margaret C. Etter Early Career Award: To recognize outstanding achievement and exceptional potential in crystallographic research demonstrated by a scientist at an early stage of their independent career.
