APS - Takeda Research Awards

Organization: American Physiological Society

The Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section Takeda Research Awards are designed to recognize trainees and junior level faculty who are engaged in gastrointestinal and liver research. These awards include a monetary honorarium, reimbursement of the EB advance registration fee and complimentary admission to the GI & Liver Section Banquet at EB2016. The awards are given based on competitive appraisal of abstracts submitted to the Experimental Biology meeting. Separate awards will recognize 1) work done while enrolled as an undergraduate, 2) doctoral/medical student, 3) during the first five years of postdoctoral or medical residency training and 4) done as a junior level faculty who is within 10 years of having received a higher degree (Ph.D., M.D., or D.V.M). The final distribution among these awards will depend on the quality and the number of applicants. Awardees are notified of winning the competition in advance of EB.
