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 Central Nervous System
Section of APS and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding,
peer review activities, etc.). Although this is not an abstract-based
award, awardees must attend the Experimental Biology meeting 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. Applications are reviewed and rated by the
Awards Committee of the CNS Section. All application materials must be
submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 7, 2007. 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 who has
received a PhD or other professional degree within the last 5 years. The
recipient must be first author on an abstract presented at the Experimental
Biology meeting. The subject matter of this abstract can be any topic
related to the central or peripheral nervous system. Applications are
reviewed and rated by the Awards Committee of the CNS Section. All
application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 7, 2007. 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. Up to three awards may be given each year. 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.
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. Applications are reviewed and rated by the
Awards Committee of the CNS Section. All application materials must be
submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
