Teaching of Physiology Section Awards
The Teaching of Physiology Section New Investigator

of his/her career. Candidates should be investigators who have made
meritorious contributions to the scientific areas represented by the APS

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 Teaching of Physiology

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
