APS - Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section New Investigator Award

Organization: American Physiological Society

The Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) recognizes an outstanding investigator in the early stages of his/her career. Candidates should be investigators who have made meritorious contributions to the scientific areas represented by the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology 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 at least one regular member of the APS. Candidates will be judged on their publications, how the publications relate to the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review activities, etc.). Although this is not an abstract-based award, awardees are required to attend the EB meeting in order to receive the cash award.
