APS AWARDEE RESPONSIBILITIES AND TAX RULES

Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Awards

The Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section New Investigator Award  ($1,000 and 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 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 their publications relate to the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review activities, etc.). The recipient of the award will present a short lecture on his/her research during one of the scientific sessions of the Experimental Biology meeting and will be invited to publish a manuscript on this presentation in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology. Any member of the APS in good standing may apply or be nominated for the award. Applications are reviewed by the Awards Committee of the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section and should include: (1) a curriculum vitae of the nominee; (2) a brief one-page summary and analysis of the research contributions of the nominee; (3) a complete list of publications; and (4) two letters of nomination from members of the APS. Awardees are recognized at the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Luncheon and Business Meeting 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 David P. Brooks, Section Chair, at: david_p_brooks@gsk.com.

The Water & Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Research Recognition Travel Award ($500 and reimbursement of the annual meeting 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 PhD or MD 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 provide a copy of their submitted abstract. Awardees are recognized at the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Luncheon and Business Meeting 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 David P. Brooks, Section Chair, at: david_p_brooks@gsk.com.
