San Francisco, CA
Cardiovascular Section Awards
The Carl J. Wiggers Award ($1,000 plus
complimentary registration to the annual spring meeting) 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 in circulatory physiology, Dr.
Wiggers founded Circulation Research and trained numerous future
department heads as well as several presidents of the APS. The award is
presented to a scientist who is a Fellow of the Cardiovascular Section of
the APS, who has made outstanding and lasting contributions to
cardiovascular research throughout his/her career, and who will attract
outstanding new members to the Cardiovascular Section from the United States
and abroad. Applicants must upload a letter of nomination; one or more
seconding letters (preferably from someone outside of the nominee's
institution); and his/her curriculum vitae. All application materials must
be completed online by January 15, 2006 for consideration for the 2007
award. Applicants should submit online at:
www.the-aps.org/eforms/awards. Questions should be directed to Steven
Segal:
sssegal@jbpierce.org.
Past Wiggers Awardees
The Berne Distinguished Lectureship ($1,000 plus
up to $2,000 in travel reimbursement and complimentary registration to the
annual spring meeting) is in honor of one of the most distinguished members
of the Cardiovascular Section, Robert M. Berne, whose research focused on
the local chemical regulation of tissue blood flow, with an emphasis on
understanding the role of adenosine and how it elicits vasodilation. This
award is presented to a scientist who is a Fellow of the Cardiovascular
Section of the APS, who has made outstanding prior contributions to
cardiovascular research, and whose current research is particularly
stimulating, such that the presentation of this work would contribute to
interest in, and growth of, the Cardiovascular Section. Applicants must
upload a letter of nomination; one or more seconding letters (preferably
from someone outside of the nominee's institution); and his/her curriculum
vitae. All application materials must be completed online by January 15,
2006 for consideration for the 2007 award. Applicants should submit online
at:

Past Berne Awardees
The Cardiovascular Section New Investigator Award
($1,000 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) was founded by
the APS in 2002 in recognition of 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. 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. Candidates
should receive nominations from at least two regular members of the APS and
will be judged on their publications, how the publications relate to the
Cardiovascular Section, and evidence for independence and promise (grant
funding, peer review activities, etc.). Although this award is not based
upon an abstract, awardees are expected to attend the Experimental Biology
meeting and present their research. The candidate must be an APS member in
good standing. The applicant must upload his/her curriculum vitae, reprints
of 3 publications, two nomination letters from APS members and, if
applicable, a copy of the first-authored abstract submitted to EB06.
Awardees are recognized at the Cardiovascular Section banquet. All
application materials must be completed online by October 31, 2005 at:
www.the-aps.org/eforms/awards. Awardees are recognized at the
Cardiovascular Section Banquet. Questions should be directed to Steven
Segal:
sssegal@jbpierce.org.
The Cardiovascular Section Young Investigator Award
sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb ($1,000 plus reimbursement of the
advance registration fee) was founded
in 2001 by a contribution from Bristol-Myers Squibb. This award is intended
for Regular Members of the Cardiovascular Section of APS who have received
an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree within the last 5 years. Individuals
should hold an academic rank or equivalent which is not higher than that of
assistant professor, have already made a substantive independent
contribution, and hold future promise but are not, as yet, well
established. While this is not an abstract-based award, it is
expected that awardees will attend the Experimental Biology meeting and
present their research. The candidate must be an APS member in good
standing. The applicant must upload
his/her curriculum vitae, one nomination letter, a seconding letter
(preferably from someone outside the nominee's institution) and, if
applicable a copy of the first-authored abstract. Awardees are
recognized at the Cardiovascular Section banquet. All application materials
must be completed online by November 2, 2005 at:
www.the-aps.org/eforms/awards. Awardees are recognized at the
Cardiovascular Section Banquet. Questions should be directed to Steven
Segal:
sssegal@jbpierce.org
The Clinical Science Cardiovascular Section Young
Investigator Award sponsored by Portland Press ($500 plus a free
personal subscription to Clinical Science online
www.clinsci.org) recognizes an outstanding junior investigator involved
in cardiovascular research. To be eligible, the investigator must have
earned an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree within the past 3 years and have
submitted a first-authored abstract to a Cardiovascular Section topic
category at EB06. Applicants upload a copy of their abstract. Awardees are
recognized at the Cardiovascular Section banquet. All application materials
must be completed online by November 2, 2005 at:
www.the-aps.org/eforms/awards. Awardees are recognized at the
Cardiovascular Section Banquet. Questions should be directed to Steven
Segal:

The Hsueh-Hwa Wang Cardiovascular Section Travel
Award ($800) was founded in 2003 and recognizes an outstanding
graduate student or postdoctoral trainee involved in cardiovascular
research. This award honors Dr. Wang’s contributions to understanding the
physiology and pharmacology of the coronary vasculature and autonomic
control of circulation and is designed to assist the award recipient to
attend the Experimental Biology meeting. Graduate students should be in a
doctoral degree program, while eligible postdoctoral trainees should be
within 5 years after receipt of their doctorate. The applicant must have
submitted a first-authored abstract to the Experimental Biology meeting
under an APS Cardiovascular Section topic category. It is expected that the
awardee will attend the Experimental Biology meeting and present his/her
research.
Applicants must upload a copy of their first-authored
abstract. All application materials must be completed online by November 2,
2005 at:

The Cardiovascular Section Research Recognition
Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) are
designed to entice submission of abstracts to the Experimental Biology
meetings from junior investigators (doctoral students and postdoctoral
fellows) and to aid them in their travel expenses. To be eligible, doctoral
students must be engaged in their dissertation research while postdoctoral
fellows must have earned an M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent degree within the past
3 years. The applicant must have submitted a first-authored abstract to the
Experimental Biology Meeting under an APS Cardiovascular Section topic
category. It is expected that awardees will attend the Experimental Biology
meeting and present their research. Up to nine Research Recognition Awards
will be made each year based upon those abstracts judged to be most
meritorious. Awardees are recognized at the Cardiovascular Section banquet.
