APS - Central Nervous System Section New Investigator Award

Organization: American Physiological Society

The Central Nervous System Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee at the Experimental Biology Meeting) recognizes an outstanding investigator in the early stages of his/her career. Candidates should be investigators who have made meritorious contributions to the area represented by the CNS Section. They should not be above the rank of Assistant Professor or a comparable position in a research track at an academic institution or in industry (e.g. Scientist, Sr. Scientist, Research Investigator, etc.). They should receive nominations from two regular members of the APS. Candidates will be judged on their publications, how the publications relate to the CNS Section and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review activities, contributions to the discipline, etc.).
