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 the EB Meeting 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 15th in the year of the EB Meeting.

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 EB 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
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
meeting abstract deadline and all application materials must be completed
online by January 15th 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 EB 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.
