Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation Section Awards
The Neural Control and Autonomic Regular (NCAR)
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 NCAR 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 NCAR
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 NCAR Reception and Business Meeting
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 Chester
A. Ray, Ph.D., email: caray@psu.edu.
The Michael J. Brody Young Investigator Award of the
APS Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation Section (NCAR) ($500 plus
reimbursement of the advance registration fee) is sponsored by Merck & Co.
recognizes a promising young investigator who has made a significant
research contribution to the understanding of neural control and autonomic
regulation. The award is open to graduate students (post-candidacy exams),
postdoctoral fellows, and clinical fellows who present and are first author
on an abstract at Experimental Biology. Either the applicant or the abstract
sponsor must be a member of APS. Applicants must upload: a copy of the
submitted abstract; a list of publications (use the curriculum vitae upload
field); a one page summary and evaluation of research contributions written
by the applicant (use the statement of research accomplishments upload
field) and a letter signed by both the applicant and sponsor indicating the
date, or expected date, of highest degree (use the nomination letter field).
Awardees are recognized at the NCAR Reception and Business Meeting at EB
2006. All application materials must be completed online by November 2, 2005

A. Ray, Ph.D., email: caray@psu.edu.
The Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation (NCAR)
Research Recognition Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance
registration fee) provides travel support to junior investigators to present
meritorious research at the annual Experimental Biology Meeting. To be
eligible, the investigator must have a Ph.D., M.D., or other professional
degree with an academic rank or equivalent not higher than that of Assistant
Professor and conduct either basic or clinical research in a field of neural
control and autonomic regulation. Junior faculty members are particularly
encouraged to apply for this award. Applicants must submit and present a
first-authored abstract to any appropriate neural control topic at the
Experimental Biology meeting. Award criteria will be based on current work
reflected in the abstract and overall contributions to the field. Applicants
must upload a copy of the first-authored abstract and their curriculum
vitae. Awardees are recognized at the NCAR Reception and Business Meeting at
EB 2006. All application materials must be completed online by November 2,
2005 at:
