Cardiovascular
Section Awards
The
Carl J. Wiggers Award ($1,000 honorarium plus complimentary
registration to the EB 2011 Meeting) is presented to a scientist who is a
fellow of the Cardiovascular Section of APS, who has made outstanding
and lasting contributions throughout his/her career to cardiovascular
research. This award is in honor of the Cardiovascular Section's Founder,
Carl J. Wiggers, whose research defined fundamental pressure-flow
relationships in the cardiovascular system. In addition to publishing
definitive texts on circulatory physiology, Dr. Wiggers founded
Circulation Research and trained numerous future department heads as
well as several presidents of APS.
The Nominations package should consist of:
1) a letter of nomination; 2)
one or more seconding letters (preferably from someone outside the
nominee's institution); and, 3) the candidate's CV.
All
application materials must be submitted by February 1, 2010 to be
considered for the 2011 award.

The 2011 Robert
M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship of the APS Cardiovascular Section
($1,000 plus complimentary registration to the 2011 EB meeting) is presented
to a scientist who is a fellow of the APS Cardiovascular Section, who
has made outstanding prior contributions to cardiovascular research, and
whose current research is particularly interesting, such that the
presentation of this work would be expected to contribute to further
interest in, and growth of, the Cardiovascular Section. This award is in
honor of one of the most distinguished members of the Cardiovascular
Section: Robert M. Berne.
Applicants must upload: 1) a letter of nomination; 2) one or more
seconding letters (preferably individuals outside of the nominee's

The Cardiovascular Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus
reimbursement of the advance registration fee) recognizes outstanding
investigators in the early stages of their career who have made meritorious
contributions to the scientific areas represented by the Cardiovascular
Section of the APS. Candidates must be an APS member in good standing
with a primary affiliation in the Cardiovascular Section and should
not be above the rank of Assistant Professor or a comparable position in
a research track at an academic institution or in industry.
The candidate must upload their curriculum vitae, a list of the 3
publications (but not their reprints) that best represent their own new
area of investigation along with a ~500-word summary of this work,
two nomination letters from regular APS members, and a first- or
senior-authored abstract from their laboratory that will be presented at
EB 2010.
Candidates will be judged on their new development(s), how their new area of
investigation relates to the Cardiovascular Section, and evidence of their
independence and promise (funding, peer review activities, etc.). The
awardee is expected to attend the 2010 Experimental Biology meeting.
All application materials must be submitted by
November 11, 2009.
