Endocrinology and Metabolism Section Awards
The Endocrinology &
Metabolism Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of
the annual meeting 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 scientific
areas represented by the APS Endocrinology & Metabolism 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
Endocrinology and Metabolism 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 should submit a curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters
from APS members, and 3 reprints. Awardees are recognized at the
Endocrinology and Metabolism Section Business Meeting and Awards Reception
at the EB meeting. All application materials must be submitted online
(www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 8, 2006. Questions should be directed to James C. Rose:

The
Virendra B. Mahesh Award of Excellence in
Endocrinology ($1,000 plus
reimbursement of the annual meeting advance registration fee) is to promote
the career development of young investigators pursuing research in the area
of Endocrinology. The award will be presented to the graduate student or
postdoctoral fellow submitting the best abstract to the annual Experimental
Biology meeting in the area of Endocrinology and Metablism. The recipient
must be first author on an abstract submitted to an Endocrinology &
Metabolism Section topic category and be certified by his/her advisor as
being eligible for such an award. The recipient will be notified prior to
the meeting and award presented at the Endocrinology & Metabolism Section
Business Meeting and Awards Reception at the EB meeting. Candidates must
provide a copy of the first-authored abstract and a brief (e.g., half page)
letter from the mentor describing why the trainee is deserving of the award.
