Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology Section Awards
The Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology 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 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 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 Gastrointestinal &
Liver Physiology Section Reception and Business Meeting 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 Chip
Montrose, email:
mhc@uc.edu.
The Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section
Research Recognition Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advanced
registration fee) are designed to provide travel support and recognition to
trainees and junior level faculty who are engaged in gastrointestinal and
liver research. The award is given based on competitive appraisal of
abstracts submitted to the Experimental Biology meeting. Separate awards
will recognize work done while enrolled as a doctoral or medical student,
work done during the first five years of postdoctoral or medical residency
training, and work 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 of awards among these categories will depend on the quality and
number of applicants. To qualify for these awards, the applicant must be
first author on an abstract submitted for the Experimental Biology meeting,
and either the applicant or sponsor (in the case of trainee awards) must be
a member of APS. All applicants must upload a copy their abstract for
consideration, and junior faculty applicants must also upload a half-page
statement of their research accomplishments. Awardees are recognized at the
Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section Reception and Business Meeting
EB 2006. All application materials must be completed online by November 2,
2005 at:
www.the-aps.org/eforms/awards. Questions should be directed to Chip
