Renal Section Awards
The 2010 Carl W. Gottschalk Distinguished
Lectureship of the APS Renal Section ($1000 honorarium, reimbursement
for up to $2000 in travel expenses, plus a complimentary ticket to the Renal
Dinner) recognizes a world-renown, distinguished scientist who has made
major contributions to understanding physiological processes through
state-of-the-art research, and who is an engaging speaker. The candidate’s
area(s) of research expertise need not be in renal physiology, but should be
of interest to Renal Section members. The candidate need not be an APS
member or a US citizen. In addition to delivering the Carl W. Gottschalk
Distinguished Lecture, the recipient will participate in the Renal Section’s
Meet the Professors Reception and will be recognized at the Renal
Dinner held during EB 2010. Nominators must upload a 1 page summary of the
candidate's contributions relevant to renal physiology. The letter must
include the nominator's name, the proposed candidate’s name, candidate's
email address, and candidate's institution. Nomination materials must be
submitted by the deadline of April 13, 2009.

The Renal Section New Investigator Award
($1,000, reimbursement of the advance registration fee, plus a complimentary
ticket to the Renal Dinner) recognizes an outstanding investigator in the
early stages of his/her career. Candidates should be investigators who have
made meritorious contributions to the areas of research represented by the
Renal 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 Renal 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. The candidate must be an APS member in good standing

research. Finalists will be notified prior to the EB meeting and will be
judged during a poster presentation at the meeting. Applicants must upload a
