Cardiovascular Section Awards
The Carl J.
Wiggers Award ($1,000 honorarium plus complimentary registration to the
meeting) is presented to a scientist who is a Fellow of the Cardiovascular
Section of the APS, who has made outstanding and lasting contributions
throughout his/her career to cardiovascular research. This award is in
honor of the Cardiovascular Section's founder, Carl J. Wiggers, whose
research defined fundamental pressure-flow relationships in the
cardiovascular system. In addition to publishing definitive texts on
circulatory physiology, Dr. Wiggers founded Circulation Research and
trained numerous future department heads as well as several presidents of
APS. The nomination package should consist of: (1) a letter of nomination;
(2) one or more seconding letters (preferably from someone outside of the
nominee's institution); and (3) a CV of the candidate. All materials and
letters of support should be submitted in January of the year before the
award is presented. All application
materials must be submitted online at (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by January 15, 2008 to be considered for the 2009 award. Questions should be
directed to Dr. Robert Hester, Chair of the CV Section Awards Committee at:
rhester@physiology.umsmed.edu.
The Berne Distinguished Lectureship
($1,000 plus complimentary registration to the meeting) award is presented
to a scientist who is a Fellow of the Cardiovascular Section of the APS, who
has made outstanding prior contributions to cardiovascular research, and
whose current research is particularly interesting, such that the
presentation of this work would be expected to contribute to further
interest in, and growth of, the Cardiovascular Section. This award is in
honor of one of the most distinguished members of the Cardiovascular
Section, Robert M. Berne. The nomination package should consist of: (1) a
letter of nomination; (2) one or more seconding letters (preferably from
someone outside of the nominee's institution); and (3) a CV of the
candidate. All materials and letters of support should be submitted in
January of the year before the award is presented. All application materials
must be submitted online at (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by January 15, 2008 to be considered for the 2009 award. Questions should be
directed to Dr. Robert Hester, Chair of
the CV Section Awards Committee at:
rhester@physiology.umsmed.edu.
The Cardiovascular Section New Investigator
Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of advance annual meeting registration
fee) recognizes outstanding investigators in the early stages of their
career who have made meritorious contributions to the scientific areas
represented by the APS Cardiovascular Section. Candidates must be an APS
member in good standing and should not be above the rank of Assistant
Professor or a comparable position in a research track at an academic
institution or in industry. The candidate must provide their curriculum
vitae, a list of the 3 publications (but not their reprints) that best
represent their own new area of investigation along with a ~500-word summary
of this work, two nomination letters from regular APS members, and a first-
or senior-authored abstract from their laboratory that will be presented at
EB2008. Candidates will be judged on their new development(s), how their new
area of investigation relates to the Cardiovascular Section, and evidence of
their independence and promise (funding, peer review activities, etc.). The
awardee is expected to attend the Experimental Biology meeting. All
application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by the EB abstract deadline, November 7, 2007. Questions should be directed
to Dr. Robert Hester, Chair of the CV
Section Awards Committee at:
rhester@physiology.umsmed.edu.
The Cardiovascular Section Research
Recognition Awards ($500 and reimbursement of the annual meeting advance
registration rate) are designed to promote submission of abstracts to the
Experimental Biology meeting from junior investigators (doctoral students
and postdoctoral fellows) and to aid them in their travel expenses. To be
eligible, doctoral students must be engaged in their dissertation research
while postdoctoral fellows must have earned an MD, PhD or equivalent degree
within the past 3 years. Applicants must have submitted a first-authored
abstract to the Experimental Biology Meeting under an APS Cardiovascular
Section topic category. Applicants must provide a copy of their submitted
abstract. It is expected that awardees will attend the Experimental Biology
meeting and present their research. Up to nine Research Recognition Awards
will be made each year based upon those abstracts judged to be most
meritorious. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by the EB abstract deadline, November 7, 2007. Questions should be directed
to Dr. Robert Hester, Chair of the CV
Section Awards Committee at:
rhester@physiology.umsmed.edu.
The Cardiovascular Section Young
Investigator Award Sponsored by Bristol-Myers Squibb ($750 and
reimbursement of the annual meeting advance registration fee)
was founded in 2001 by a contribution
from Bristol-Myers Squibb. This award is intended for Regular Members of the
Cardiovascular Section of APS who have received an MD, PhD, or equivalent
degree within the last 5 years. Candidates must be an APS member in good
standing, should hold an academic rank which is not higher than that of
Assistant Professor or equivalent, have already made a substantive
independent contribution, and hold future promise but are not, as yet, well
established. The candidate must provide their curriculum vitae, a list of
the 3 publications (but not their reprints) that best represent their
independent line of investigation along with a ~500-word summary of this
work, one nomination letter, a seconding letter (preferably from someone
outside the nominee's institution), and a first- or senior-authored abstract
from their laboratory that will be presented at the annual meeting.
Candidates will be judged on their professional development, independence,
and how their research program relates to the Cardiovascular Section. The
awardee is expected to attend the Experimental Biology meeting. All
application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by the EB abstract deadline, November 7, 2007. Questions should be directed
to Dr. Robert Hester, Chair of the CV
Section Awards Committee at:
rhester@physiology.umsmed.edu.
Cardiovascular Section Clinical Science

Science online
www.clinsci.org) recognizes an outstanding junior investigator involved
in cardiovascular research. To be eligible, the investigator must have
earned an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree within the past 3 years and have
submitted a first-authored abstract to the Experimental Biology Meeting
under an APS Cardiovascular Section Topic Category. It is expected that the
awardee will attend the Experimental Biology meeting and present his or her
research. The awardee will be recognized at the Cardiovascular Section
