Student Travel Awards
Applications for all awards listed below should be sent to David Schriemer (dschriem@ucalgary.ca) by September 10. All winners will present a talk during the Workshop. Each award is valued at $2000 (CDN), except the “Legends of Lake Louise Award”, which is valued at $2000 (USD).
A student may only receive a single award during their career (both MSc, PhD, and post-doctoral levels are considered jointly). Nominations are limited to one applicant per Supervisor.
Applications should describe in an abstract (500 words or less) the nature of the MS/MS work to be presented, as well as an indication of the career impact this opportunity could have. A CV along with a supporting letter from the supervisor is also required. Applicants will be notified around October 10.
A single application will ensure that candidates are considered for all three types of awards listed below (subject to eligibility).

Named after pioneering Canadian scientist Fred Lossing, the award celebrates excellence in research, innovation, and impact within the scientific community. It is awarded every other year to an individual who has demonstrated significant achievements and leadership in advancing mass spectrometry. Recipients are selected by the Society based on their scientific accomplishments and contributions to the discipline. For more information, please click here.
Special Awards
The Lake Louise Workshop offers special awards to recognize significant contributions to the field of mass spectrometry. This may include contributions through benevolence, scientific effort or life time achievements. In the past some of our major contributors have been recognized as well as those whose achievements in the field require special recognition.
John Race, VG Scientific, for his contributions to the initiation of the workshop and continued support throughout the years.
Bill Davidson, SCIEX, for his life time achievements in the field of mass spectrometry.
Young Investigator Award
The CSMS presents a biennial award to an accomplished young Canadian mass spectrometrist. The award consists of a $2000 CAD award and certificate commemorating the accomplishments and achievements of an early career researcher. The awardee will be invited to speak at the Lake Louise Tandem Mass Spectrometry Workshop in Lake Louise, AB in the year that they receive the award.
The award recognizes the accomplishments of an early career researcher that have significant impact to the field of mass spectrometry with anticipation of future impact as a secondary consideration. The impact may be observed not only in the form of publications, presentations and academic honours, but also in the form of technological innovation and policy development.
