Applications are open for ACCESS XIV, the Fourteenth Atmospheric
Chemistry Colloquium for Emerging Senior Scientists. ACCESS XIV,
will be convened at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island,
New York from July 27-30, 2017. Participants will be invited to
attend both ACCESS and the Gordon Research Conference in Atmospheric
Chemistry, which will be held at the Grand Summit Hotel at Sunday
River in Newry, Maine from July 30 to August 4, 2017. All expenses
for participants at both ACCESS and the GRC, including registration
for the GRC and transportation to and from originating locations,
will be provided.<o:p></o:p><br>
<br>
To be eligible to participate in ACCESS, an applicant must have
received a doctorate from an accredited university after May 1,
2015, or his/her advisor must certify that in all probability the
applicant will have received a doctoral degree by August 31, 2018.
The applicant's thesis or postdoctoral research must be in the field
of atmospheric chemistry. Attendance is limited to 25 participants,
who are selected by a committee based on the significance and
achievement of the applicant’s thesis or postdoctoral research, the
application, and a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s
major thesis or postdoctoral advisor. Participation in ACCESS is
highly competitive, and there are typically more than 100 candidates
from the most prestigious institutions in the US and abroad.<o:p></o:p><br>

together young researchers in atmospheric chemistry and
representatives of the principal federal government agencies that
fund atmospheric chemistry research to engage in scientific
discussion and interaction. The meetings will forge future
professional relationships, and the entire atmospheric science
community will benefit by becoming more aware of innovations in
atmospheric chemistry through presentations by ACCESS participants
and through these interactions. Participation in ACCESS and the
GRC is jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE),
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the
National Science Foundation (NSF), and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).</span><br>
