Central Nervous System Awards
The Central Nervous System 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 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 at least 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, etc.). Although this is not an abstract-based award,
awardees are expected to attend EB and make an oral or poster presentation.
The candidate must be an APS member in good standing. Candidates must
upload: a curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS members, and 3
reprints. Awardees are recognized at the CNS Section Social at EB 2006. All
application materials must be completed online by October 31, 2005 at:
www.the-aps.org/eforms/awards. Questions should be directed to Ida
Llewellyn-Smith email address:
ida.llewellyn-smith@flinder.edu.au.
The Central Nervous System Section Van Harreveld
Memorial Award ($300 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee)
recognizes outstanding research in neuroscience by a graduate student or
postdoctoral fellow. The recipient must be first author on an abstract
presented at the Experimental Biology meeting. Candidates must upload a copy
of the submitted abstract. Awardees are recognized at the CNS Section Social
at EB 2006. All application materials must be completed online by November
2, 2005 at:

The Central Nervous System Section Research
Recognition Award ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration
fee) provides up to three awards that recognize meritorious research by
young investigators who participate in Experimental Biology 2006. To qualify
for this award, the applicant must have received a Ph.D. or other
professional degree within the past 10 years and must present a poster or
talk at the Experimental Biology 2006 meeting as first author. The subject
matter of this presentation can be any topic related to the central or
peripheral nervous system. Applications are reviewed and rated by the CNS
Section Awards Committee. Applicants must upload a copy of their
first-authored abstract (or a paragraph describing his/her research if it is
to be presented in a symposium), and a letter indicating the novelty of the
research project described in the abstract, the year he/she received a
degree, his/her current position, and whether he/she is a member of the APS.
Membership in the APS is not required but is highly recommended. Awardees
are recognized at the CNS Section Social at EB 2006. All application
materials must be completed online by November 2, 2005 at:
