APS AWARDEE RESPONSIBILITIES AND TAX RULES

Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Awards

The Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section 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 Comparative & Evolutionary Physiology 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 Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology 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. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps) by December 3, 2007. Questions should be directed to Sinya Benyajati at: Siribhinya-benyajati@ouhsc.edu.

The Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section Research Recognition Award ($500 plus reimbursement of the annual meeting advance registration fee) will provide up to three travel awards in recognition of meritorious research by young investigators who participate in the Experimental Biology meeting. Candidates must have completed their Ph.D. within the past 10 years, be a member of APS, and must present a talk or poster at the Experimental Biology meeting. The subject matter can be any topic that deals with comparative and evolutionary physiology. Applicants should submit their abstract, a one-page CV, and a one-page summary of research accomplishments and goals. Awardees are recognized at the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section Business Luncheon at Experimental Biology. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps) by December 3, 2007. Questions should be directed to Sinya Benyajati at: Siribhinya-benyajati@ouhsc.edu.

The Comparative Physiology Section Scholander Award ($500, one year complimentary  membership in APS, a copy of the Per Scholander biography Enjoying a Life in Science, Univ. of Alaska Press, 1990,  and reimbursement of the advance registration fee to the meeting where the award is presented [funded by Section]) will be presented to an outstanding young investigator presenting a paper in the “Scholander Award” Session at either the APS annual spring or APS intersociety meeting. Applicants will be judged during a poster presentation at the meeting. To be eligible, applicants must: a) submit their abstract to the Scholander Award Session topic category; b) be first author on the abstract and; c) be not more than three years past the highest degree. Annual spring meeting awardees are recognized at the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section Business Luncheon. APS Intersociety Meeting awardees are recognized at the Awards Banquet dinner. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps) by December 3, 2007. Questions should be directed to Sinya Benyajati at: Siribhinya-benyajati@ouhsc.edu.

The Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section Travel Award sponsored by Novo Nordisk Foundation ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) recognizes an outstanding graduate or undergraduate student involved in comparative and evolutionary research. This award is designed to assist the award recipient to attend the Experimental Biology meeting. The applicant must submit a first-authored abstract to the Experimental Biology meeting under an APS Comparative and Evolutionary section topic category and will attend the EB meeting to present his/her research.  Either the applicant or the sponsor must be a member in good standing of APS.  Two travel awards will be made each year based on those abstracts judged to be most meritorious. Awardees are recognized at the Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology Section Business Luncheon. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps) by December 3, 2007. Questions should be directed to Sinya Benyajati at: Siribhinya-benyajati@ouhsc.edu.
