Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section Awards
The Water and Electrolyte
Homeostasis Section New Investigator Award
($1,000 and 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 area represented by the Water and
Electrolyte Homeostasis 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.). Any member of the APS in good standing may apply or be
nominated for the award. Applications are reviewed by the Awards Committee
of the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section and should include: (1) a
curriculum vitae of the nominee; (2) a brief one-page summary and analysis
of the research contributions of the nominee; (3) a complete list of
publications; and (4) two letters of nomination from members of the APS.
Candidates will be judged on their publications, how their publications
relate to the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section and evidence for
independence and promise (grant funding, peer review activities, etc.). The
recipient of the award will present a short lecture on his/her research
during one of the scientific sessions of the Experimental Biology meeting
and will be invited to publish a manuscript on this presentation in the
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative
Physiology. Awardees are recognized at the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis
Luncheon and Business Meeting at the EB meeting. All application materials
must be submitted online (www.the-aps.org/awardapps)
by December 30, 2007. Questions should be directed to J. Thomas Cunningham,
Section Chair, at:
cunninghamt@uthscsa.edu.
