APS AWARDEE RESPONSIBILITIES AND TAX RULES

Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Awards

The Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis 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 Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis 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 Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis 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 Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Luncheon 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 Joey Granger, email: jgranger@physiology.umsmed.edu.

The Water & Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Research Recognition Award ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) provides support for travel expenses for junior investigators to attend the annual Experimental Biology Meeting. To be eligible, the investigator must be either a pre-doctoral student or within ten years of receiving his/her Ph.D. or M.D. degree. Applicants must be first author on an abstract submitted to an APS Water & Electrolyte Homeostasis Section topic category at the EB meeting. The Section Steering Committee will judge the abstracts. Applicants must upload a copy of their submitted abstract. Awardees are recognized at the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Luncheon and Business Meeting at 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 Joey Granger, email: jgranger@physiology.umsmed.edu.
