APS - Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section New Investigator Award

Organization: American Physiological Society

The Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 monetary award, reimbursement of the EB advance registration fee, complimentary admission to the GI & Liver Section Banquet at EB) 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 Gastrointestinal & Liver 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 two regular members of the APS. Candidates will be judged on their publications, how the publications relate to the Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review activities, etc.). Although this is not an abstract-based award, awardees are expected to attend EB and make an oral presentation.
