The 8th annual Hydrogen Student Design Contest is getting underway this fall and we are looking for assistance from universities around the world in letting students know about the Contest and the prize packages available to the winners. More information on past contests, including design submissions, can be found at www.hydrogencontest.org. The Contest is open to undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students worldwide and last year attracted over 30 teams from 10 different countries. This year’s competition focuses on the development of a hydrogen fueling infrastructure in the Northeast United States. In recent years, several major car manufacturers announced their plans to commercially introduce fuel cell vehicles by 2015. In order to prepare for the upcoming commercialization of fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen production and fueling infrastructures must be planned for and developed across the United States, especially in such densely populated regions such as the northeast.
This is a great opportunity for students to develop real world design experience and in years past has attracted sponsors and judges that represent the leaders in the industry; Department of Energy, Chevron, Honda, Toyota, Ballard Power Systems, Sandia National Laboratories and many more. Furthermore, the competition finalists will get their designs published and have the opportunity to present their design at the 2013 Fuel Cell Seminar and/or similar event. The positive impact of the contest on the students’ lives is best summed up in this Department of Energy article: http://energy.gov/articles/hydrogen-student-design-contest-inspires-and-opens-doors.

BWF's Career Awards at the Scientific Interface provide $500,000 to bridge advanced postdoctoral training and the first three years of faculty service. These awards are intended to foster the early career development of researchers who have transitioned or are transitioning from undergraduate and/or graduate work in the physical/mathematical/computational sciences or engineering into postdoctoral work in the biological sciences, and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research. These awards are open to U.S. and Canadian citizens or permanent residents as well as to U.S. temporary residents.
Prior to 2010, candidates for this award were nominated by North American degree-granting institutions. Since 2010, eligible candidates for this award may self-nominate by submitting a preproposal.

An eligibility quiz has been created to assist you in determining whether you are eligible to apply for this award. Successful completion of the quiz will take you directly to the preproposal application. You will be notified upon conclusion of the quiz if you are not eligible to continue.
