Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation Section Awards
The Neural Control and
Autonomic Regulation 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 NCAR 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 APS section to which
they have applied, 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 must provide a curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS
members, and 3 reprints. Awardees are recognized at the NCAR Reception and
Business Meeting 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 Alan Sved,
sved@bhs.pitt.edu.
The Michael J. Brody
Young Investigator Award of the APS Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation
(NCAR) Section ($500 plus reimbursement of the annual meeting advance
registration fee) is sponsored by Merck & Co. recognizes a promising young
investigator who has made a significant research contribution to the
understanding of neural control and autonomic regulation. The award is open
to graduate students (post-candidacy exams), postdoctoral fellows, and
clinical fellows who present and are first author on an abstract at
Experimental Biology. Either the applicant or the abstract sponsor must be a
member of APS. Applicants must provide a copy of the submitted abstract; a
list of publications; a one page summary and evaluation of research
contributions, written by the applicant, and a letter signed by both the
applicant and sponsor indicating the date, or expected date, of highest
degree. Awardees are recognized at the NCAR Reception and Business Meeting
at the EB meeting. All application materials must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by November 7, 2006. Questions should be directed to Alan Sved,
sved@bhs.pitt.edu.
The Neural Control and
Autonomic Regulation Research Recognition Awards
($500 plus reimbursement of the annual meeting advance registration fee)
provide travel support to junior investigators to present meritorious
research at the annual Experimental Biology Meeting. To be eligible, the
investigator must have a Ph.D., M.D., or other professional degree with an
academic rank or equivalent not higher than that of Assistant Professor and
conduct either basic or clinical research in a field of neural control and
autonomic regulation. Junior faculty members are particularly encouraged to
apply for this award. Applicants must provide the first-authored abstract
submitted to any appropriate neural control topic category at the
Experimental Biology meeting and their curriculum vitae. Award criteria will
be based on current work reflected in the abstract and overall contributions
to the field. Awardees are recognized at the NCAR Reception and Business
Meeting 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 Alan Sved,
sved@bhs.pitt.edu.
