Central Nervous System
Section Awards
The
Central Nervous System Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus
reimbursement of the advance registration fee at the Experimental Biology
Meeting) 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 CNS 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 two regular members of the APS. Candidates will be judged
on their publications, how the publications relate to the CNS Section and
evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review
activities, contributions to the discipline, etc.). The candidate must be an
APS member in good standing with a primary affiliation in the Central
Nervous System Section. Although this is not an abstract-based award,
awardees must attend the Experimental Biology meeting and make an oral or
poster presentation.
Applications are
reviewed and rated by the Awards Committee of the CNS Section.
Candidates must
upload: a curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from regular members of APS
and 3 reprints. Candidates must also provide the number of their abstract
for the Experimental Biology meeting (or, if a symposium presentation, the
name of the session in which the presentation is programmed) and the name of
the first author on the abstract/presentation.
All application materials
must be completed online by November 18, 2009.

New Investigator Award Recipients
The
Central Nervous System Section Research Recognition Award ($500 plus
reimbursement of the advance registration fee) recognizes meritorious
research by young investigators, who participate in the Experimental Biology
meeting.
To qualify for this
award, the applicant must have received a Ph.D. or other professional degree
within the past 10 years and hold a
post-doctoral or junior faculty position. Candidates must be first author
on an abstract that is presented as a poster or give an invited talk at the
Experimental Biology meeting. The poster or oral presentation should be on
a topic related to the central or peripheral nervous system.
Applications are
reviewed and rated by the CNS Section Awards Committee.
Applicants must
upload a copy of their first-authored abstract (See “Tips on Writing a
Successful Abstract” below) or a paragraph describing his/her research if it
is to be presented in a symposium or featured topic session, a letter
indicating the novelty of the research project described in the abstract,
the year he/she received his/her PhD degree, his/her current position, and
whether he/she is a member of APS. Membership in the APS is not required
but is highly recommended.
All application materials must be completed online by
November 18, 2009
TIPS
ON WRITING A SUCCESSFUL ABSTRACT:
-
Start with a clearly stated hypothesis or aim.

statistical comparisons wherever possible.)
-
Make a conclusion that is based on the data presented.
-
Finish with the significance of the results to the field of study.

(See “Tips on Writing a Successful Abstract” below). The subject matter of
the abstract should be any topic related to the central or peripheral
nervous system.
Applications are
