It is given to those individuals whose professional, as well as scientific accomplishments have fostered progress in the Separation Sciences. The award consists of an inscribed plaque and has been presented at our Spring Symposium since the 1980's.
In order to be considered for the Palmer Award individuals must be nominated. Nominations must be received by the Chair of the Palmer Award Committee and will remain active for three years. The committee will then award the winner via blind balloting.
