New Orleans, LA
Cell and Molecular
Physiology Section Awards
The Cell and Molecular Physiology Section New
Investigator Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of the 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 Cell and Molecular
Physiology 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 Cell and Molecular Physiology Section and
evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review
activities, etc.). Although this is not an abstract-based award, awardees
must submit an abstract by the meeting submission deadline and are expected
to attend EB and make an oral or poster presentation. Unlike the other
CAMPS awards, they need not be first author of the submission, but are
anticipated to be senior author. Contributing students and fellows are
recognized in the award.
The candidate must be an APS member in good standing
with a primary affiliation in the Cell and Molecular Physiology Section
Candidates must upload: a curriculum vitae, 2
nomination letters from APS members, and 3 reprints. Awardees are recognized
at the Cell and Molecular Physiology Banquet at the EB Meeting. Abstracts
must be submitted by the meeting deadline, and then all additional
application materials must be completed online by January 15 in the year of
the EB meeting.
Past Cell and Molecular
Physiology Section New Investigator Award Recipients
The Cell and Molecular Physiology Section Research
Recognition Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration
fee) will be given to TWO successful candidates for work performed while in
the first through fifth postdoctoral year or medical residency.
Applicants must be first author on an abstract submitted by the abstract
deadline to the Experimental Biology meeting and this work will be the
primary basis for evaluation.
The trainee and / or their direct mentor must be a
member in good standing of the APS, with a primary affiliation in the Cell
and Molecular Physiology Section. The award will go to the first-author
trainee, but the mentor and all author trainees will be recognized in the
award statement.
Members of the CAMPS
Steering Committee as well as former CAMPS awardees at the junior faculty
level will evaluate all submitted abstracts and supporting documents and
then select 5-6 semi-finalists who will be announced via email
and a newsletter to the CAMPS membership prior to the EB meeting. The
semi-finalists will make a special poster presentation to the judges and
public the morning of the Cell and Molecular Section Banquet at the EB
meeting (CAMPS diner). Finalists will be selected by the panel at this time
and awards announced, for the first time, and presented at the CAMPS dinner
that night.
Applicants must upload: 1) a copy of the submitted
abstract; 2) their curriculum vitae; and, 3) a brief (e.g. half page)
recommendation letter from their mentor describing why the trainee is
deserving of the award.
The abstract must be submitted by the EB abstract
deadline and all application materials must be completed online by January
15 in the year of the EB meeting.

Physiology Research Recognition Award Recipients
The Cell and Molecular Physiology Section Robert
Gunn Student Awards ($300 plus reimbursement of the advance
registration fee) are available for up to TWO pre-doctoral
candidates, allotment depending on applicant pool. One award will be given
for work done while enrolled as a medical or graduate (doctoral or
masters) student. An undergraduate researcher is given priority for
the second award. Applicants must be first author on an abstract submitted
by the abstract deadline to the Experimental Biology meeting and this work
will be the primary basis for evaluation. The trainee and / or their
direct mentor must be a member in good standing of the APS, with a primary
affiliation in the Cell and Molecular Physiology Section. The award will go
to the first-author trainee, but the mentor and all author trainees will be
recognized in the award statement.
