Teaching of Physiology Section Awards
The Teaching of 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 Teaching of 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 Teaching of 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 Teaching of
Physiology Section 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 Nancy

npelaez@fullerton.edu.
The Teaching of Physiology Section Research
Recognition Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration
fee) will provide two travel awards for outstanding posters presented in the
Teaching Poster Sessions at Experimental Biology. To qualify for this award,
the applicant must be first author on the poster, and age 40 or under or
within 10 years of receiving the Ph.D. or M.D. Applicants must also be APS
regular, affiliate, or student members. Abstracts will be reviewed and rated
by the Teaching Section Steering Committee. All poster abstracts must be
formally submitted to EB by the abstract deadline. Applicants must upload a
copy of the first-authored abstract. Awardees are recognized at the Teaching
of Physiology Section Business Meeting at EB 2006. All application materials
must be completed online by November 2, 2005 at:

The Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year
Award ($1,000, up to $600 in travel reimbursement and complimentary
registration to the EB meeting). The Teaching Section of the American
Physiological Society invites you to nominate a fellow physiology educator
for the Fourteenth Annual Arthur C. Guyton Physiology Educator of the Year
Award.
Nominees must be full-time faculty members of
accredited colleges or universities and members of the American
Physiological Society. The Selection Committee will look for independent
evidence of: (1) excellence in classroom teaching over a number of years
at undergraduate, graduate, or professional levels; (2) commitment to the
improvement of physiology teaching within the candidate's own institution;
and (3) contributions to physiology education at the local community,
national or international levels.
In the past, all nominees have shown excellence in
teaching at their home institution and many have made significant local
contributions through advising, graduate education, or curriculum design and
reform. Consequently, the activities that distinguish a candidate in the
rankings include outreach activities at the state, national, or
international level; contributions to education through APS activities;
peer-reviewed educational journal articles; and widely disseminated
publications such as commercially produced textbooks, lab manuals, or
software.
Each nominee must be nominated by a member of APS. The
Nominator should send a letter of support outlining the qualifications of
the nominee to the Chair of the Award Selection Committee, no later than
Friday November 11, 2005. The Candidate will be asked to submit a portfolio
that includes a statement of teaching philosophy and achievements; summaries
of student evaluations, teaching honors and awards; and evidence of
education-related activities outside the classroom. Letters of support from
colleagues and, if desired, students of the candidate will also be
requested. The committee requests electronic submission of all material by
January 11, 2006.
The person selected will receive the award during the
APS Business Meeting at Experimental Biology. The awardee is requested to
write an essay on his/her philosophy of education for publication in The
Physiologist.
All materials should be sent electronically to the
Chair of the Guyton Award Selection Committee: Maureen Burton, Division of
Basic Biomedical Sciences, University of South Dakota School of Medicine.
