Vanderveer Voorhees Memorial Fund

This award is presented each year to the 4th year graduate student(s) with the most creative Independent Research Proposal in honor of Vanderveer Voorhees. 

Dr. Voorhees was a graduate student with Professor Roger Adams and was the coauthor on the seminal paper describing catalytic hydrogenation with palladium oxide (J. Am. Chem. Soc 1922, 44, 1397-405), which came to be known as Adams' catalyst.
