Endocrinology and Metabolism Section Awards
The Endocrinology and Metabolism 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 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 & 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. Also, the recipient is expected to submit a brief
review article in her/his area of research interest to the American
Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism for publication
within one year of receiving the award. The candidate must be an APS member
in good standing with a primary affiliation in the Endocrinology and
Metabolism Section.
Candidates must upload: a curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS
members, and 3 reprints. Awardees are recognized at the Endocrinology &
Metabolism Section Business Meeting and Awards Reception at EB 2009. All
application materials must be completed online by January 19, 2009.
