The IPEC-Americas Foundation is accepting applications for the 2015 awards, including five graduate student travel scholarships to attend the AAPS 2015 Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida October 25-29.

Awards are given in three categories. The Ralph Shangraw Memorial Award of $10,000 given to any person who has provided outstanding research contributions in the study of excipients or excipient-related technology over a number of years. The award is open to all scientists of any nationality or residence working in this field of research.

The Industry Research Achievement Award recognizes individuals working in an industrial setting who have made significant contributions in the field of excipient technology.  

In addition, five graduate student scholarships of $1,500 are awarded to acknowledge excellence in research conducted at the graduate level in the field of excipients. Students with recent significant contributions to formulation science and technology through innovative research with excipients are eligible for this award.
