The Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley is currently seeking nominations for the 2025 Dal Nogare Award. The award is given each year to the individual who is an outstanding scientist in the field of chromatography. The awardee is selected based on their contributions to the fundamental understanding of the chromatographic process.
The award was established in honor of Stephen Dal Nogare, one of the founders of The Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley and a well-known gas chromatographer whose book on the subject was one of the best known to teach the science of GC to a whole generation of separation scientists. Dal Nogare died in 1968 and in 1972 the award was established to recognize the work of important separation scientists, based on their contributions to the fundamental understanding of the chromatographic process. Since its founding, the Dal Nogare Award has been given to more than 50 individuals who have distinguished themselves in the field of separation science.
An award nomination should consist of a nominating letter, at least two seconding letters, the candidates resume and list of pertinent publications. Inclusion of a few publications highlighting specific achievements are also recommended. Nominations can be sent via email to Mary Ellen McNally at mary-ellen.mcnally@fmc.com. You can send hard copy nominations which should include current resume and publication examples as well as any seconding letters by January 31, 2024 to:
