Our Water 新月直播app下载 Forum offers a limited number of awards each year to post graduate students or professional water scientists to help support their early career development or when returning to scientific work after a break.
Water For Life Award
Our Water 新月直播app下载 Forum wishes to recognise the contribution made by using the chemical sciences within the water cycle.
We biennially invite our members to nominate an individual who has made an outstanding lifelong contribution using or developing the chemical sciences within any of the fields of:
- Maintenance and improvement of public health
- Sustainability and access to water resources
- Environmental, Economic and Social sustainability of the water cycle
Rules and Criteria
- Nominations of any person who meets the award criteria may only be made by members of the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum (find out how to join)
- The award is open to nominees based within the UK or internationally
- Nominees can be from any field of endeavour in the practice and utilisation of the chemical sciences which lie within the scope of the award
- Nominees would normally be expected to demonstrate an extended period of involvement with the water cycle
- Nominees do not have to be members of the 新月直播app下载 nor the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum
- Nominees are not permitted to nominate themselves.
- When nominating previous RSC prize or award winners, please remember that a person cannot be awarded twice for substantially the same body of work
- Previous winners are not eligible to be nominated
The successful nomination will be determined by a panel of the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum with an independent chairperson, using the following Assessment Criteria.
- Scientific/technical contribution, breadth of work and reputation
- Leadership, skills transfer and mentoring
- Contribution to the sustainable use of water
- Knowledge transfer and capacity building
- Novel/Innovative/low-cost technical applications relating to water use
The decision of the panel will be final, and no correspondence will be entered into. The panel reserves the right not to make an award.
The successful nominee will receive a suitably engraved crystal glass water decanter and water tumblers.
How to nominate
- Fill in the Water For Life Nomination Form
- Provide a curriculum vitae for the candidate (two pages maximum)
- Email both to the group secretary
The Alan Tetlow Memorial Award
The Alan Tetlow Memorial Award aims to help encourage early career chemists (during the first 10 years of their career) and those returning to work after a career break to develop their professional careers. Awards of up to £2,000 per year are available.
John Alan Tetlow, who died aged 70 in February 2005, was one of the founder members of the RSC Water Chemistry Forum (now the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum). Alan retired as a Regional Manager in the then National Rivers Authority and devoted many years to improving the quality of the water environment in England and Wales. Most importantly he helped to raise the profile of the water chemist within the RSC and the water industry. The Alan Tetlow Memorial Award commemorates Alan’s work and the importance of water chemistry.
To advance their careers, members can apply for financial assistance for the following activities:
- attending conferences to present a poster or paper
- attending research meetings (including young researcher meetings)
- visiting UK or international laboratories
- completing training courses
- assisting in research relating to water science projects in general
Please note that activities are not restricted to those above only. However, the activity needs to contain a high proportion of water related chemical science which contributes to water sustainability (environment, economic, social) and have an identifiable practical application.
Application detailsRules and criteria
To provide maximum benefit to as many members as possible, the award is restricted to one successful application per member. Applicants must be an RSC member and a member of the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum.
The value of each award will be not more than 50% of the agreed cost and will be awarded subject to satisfactory receipts. Please note 25% of any award will be withheld pending satisfactory completion of a report or article for the Newsletter and/or presentation to a Committee Meeting. All requests for financial support are considered on their merits. Therefore, it is vital that the application form contains sufficient detail for the Committee to make an informed assessment on the degree of water related chemical science involved. The applicant also needs to identify how their project is likely to further the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum’s aims and objectives. The committee's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
How to apply
Applications will only be accepted using the below form from 1 January to 30 April. Please refer to the specific eligibility criteria and fundable activities in the application form.
Each application is reviewed by the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum Committee Awards Sub-Group. The Secretary will notify applicants of the outcome of their applications in early July.

The Water 新月直播app下载 Award
This award supports RSC members undertaking water science research at an early stage of their careers. In particular, applications are encouraged from members aiming to achieve Registered 新月直播app下载 Technician (RSciTech) or Registered Scientist (RSci) status.
The Water 新月直播app下载 Award is awarded to researchers engaged in projects that involve chemical sciences application in the water cycle management, and the impact these activities have on the environment. Awards of up to £2,000 per year are available for the following activities:
- Continuing professional development research analysis activities for RSciTech or RSci awards
- MSc thesis projects
- Short sabbatical periods to complete relevant research
- Assistance in Water 新月直播app下载 research projects
Please note that activities are not restricted to the examples above, so please apply for an alternative activity to be considered. It is important that any activity needs to contain a high proportion of water related chemical science which contributes to water sustainability (environment, economic, social) and have an identifiable practical application.
Application detailsRules and criteria
Applicants must be an RSC member and a member of the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum.
MSc students, or students on other career development routes, including those with no formal higher qualifications (e.g. degree or HND), and those wishing to obtain RSciTech or RSci qualifications, are particularly encouraged to apply.
AS all requests for financial support are considered on their merits, the application form must contain sufficient detail for the Committee to make an informed assessment. Please note that 25% of any award will be withheld pending satisfactory completion of a report or article for the Newsletter and/or presentation to a Committee Meeting. The applicant must identify how their work will further the Water 新月直播app下载 Forum’s aims and objectives. The committee's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
