Garvan–Olin Medal

The Francis P. Garvan–John M. Olin Medal, previously called the Francis P. Garvan Medal,[1][2] is an annual award that recognizes distinguished scientific accomplishment, leadership and service to chemistry by women chemists.

The Award is offered by the American Chemical Society (ACS), and consists of a cash prize (US$5,000) and a medal.

Any individual may nominate a single eligible chemist in one year.

It was solely funded by the Francis P. Garvan Medal Endowment from its establishment in 1936 until 1979.

Mabel Brady Garvan remained involved with the Award through 1967.
