Central Nervous System Awards
The Central Nervous
System New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of the annual
meeting advance registration fee) recognizes outstanding investigators in
the early stages of their career. Candidates should be investigators who
have made meritorious contributions to the scientific areas represented by
the APS CNS 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 APS section to which they
have applied, and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer
review activities, etc.). Although this is not an abstract-based
award, awardees must attend EB and make an oral or poster presentation.
The candidate must be an APS member in good standing. Candidates should
submit a curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS members, and 3
reprints. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 8, 2006. Questions should be directed to Ida Llewellyn-Smith at
ida.llewellyn-smith@flinders.edu.au.
The
Central Nervous System Section Van Harreveld Memorial Award
($500 plus reimbursement of the annual meeting advance registration fee)
recognizes outstanding research in neuroscience by a graduate student or
postdoctoral fellow. The recipient must be first author on an abstract
presented at the Experimental Biology meeting. All application
materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 8, 2006. Questions should be directed to Ida Llewellyn-Smith at
ida.llewellyn-smith@flinders.edu.au.
The
Central Nervous System Section Research Recognition Award
($500 plus reimbursement of the annual meeting advance registration fee)
recognizes meritorious research by young investigators who participate in
the annual Experimental Biology meeting. To qualify for this award, the
applicant must have received a Ph.D. or other professional degree within the
past 10 years and must present a poster or talk at the Experimental Biology
Meeting. The subject matter of this presentation can be any topic related to
the central or peripheral nervous system. Applications are reviewed and
rated by the CNS Section Awards Committee. Applicants should submit a copy
of their abstract (or a paragraph describing his/her research if it is to be
presented in a symposium), and a letter indicating the novelty of the
research project described in the abstract, the year he/she received a
degree, his/her current position, and whether he/she is a member of the APS.
Membership in the APS is not required but is highly recommended. All
application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 8, 2006. Questions should be directed to Ida Llewellyn-Smith at
ida.llewellyn-smith@flinders.edu.au.
