The 2009 NPR Lecture Award is now closed to nominations. 

NPR sponsors a lecture each year at an international meeting. The recipient will be someone who has made significant research contribution to natural products chemistry in its broadest sense, and will have published in or have had some affiliation to NPR. The award is open to anyone fitting these criteria. 

Previous winners of the award include John Blunt of the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, RX Tan from Nanjing University, China and Jason Micklefield of the University of Manchester, UK.

The winner will be selected by a panel of judges, who will announce the result in early 2009.
