Jerome B. Cohen Student Award
This award was instituted in the name of Professor Jerome B. Cohen, one of the leaders in the field of X-ray analysis, and in the training of students in this art. The award is intended to recognize the outstanding achievements of student research in this field. All students, graduate or undergraduate, who are working in the field of X-ray analysis, can submit a technical paper describing their work.

The following criteria applies: • The research must be original, of high quality, and must be primarily the work of the student. • All papers submitted to the Cohen Award must be presented at the conference in either oral or poster session. Thus, all first-author students must submit an abstract and also attend the conference. • The papers submitted for this competition must be received in final publication form electronically by 1 July 2008. The winning manuscript will also be listed in the conference proceedings. The winner will be selected by a committee of researchers in the field, and notified one week before the conference.
