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 7, 2007. Questions should be directed to James C. Rose:
jimrose@wfubmc.edu.
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 the award will be 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. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 7, 2007. Questions should be directed to James C. Rose:
jimrose@wfubmc.edu.
The Mead
Johnson Research Award in Endocrinology and Metabolism ($500 plus
reimbursement of the annual meeting advance registration fee) is intended to
recognize the graduate student, resident or postdoctoral fellow who presents
the best abstract for research in the area of Endocrinology and Metabolism
at the Experimental Biology Meeting. Applicants must provide a copy of the
first-authored abstract and letter from the sponsor certifying the training
status of the applicant student. 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)

Committee as being examples of meritorious research. The recipient must be
first author on a submitted abstract to a topic category of the
Endocrinology & Metabolism Section and be certified by his/her advisor as
being eligible for such an award. Awardees are recognized at the
