The Hickinbottom Award (also referred to as the Hickinbottom Fellowship) is awarded annually by the Royal Society of Chemistry for contributions in the area of organic chemistry from an early career scientist. The prize winner receives a monetary award and will complete a lecture tour within the UK.{{cite web|url=http://www.rsc.org/ScienceAndTechnology/Awards/HickinbottomAward/|publisher=Royal Society of Chemistry|title=Hickinbottom Award}} The winner is chosen by the awards committee of the Royal Society of Chemistry's organic division.
Award history
The award was established by the Royal Society of Chemistry in 1979 following Wilfred Hickinbottom's bequest. Hickinbottom was noted for supporting high standards in experimental chemistry.
Part of the monetary award is the Briggs scholarship, which was funded following a bequest from Lady Alice Lilian Thorpe, William Briggs' daughter.
