Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology Section
Awards
The Gastrointestinal and Liver
Physiology Section Horace W. Davenport Distinguished Lectureship
($1,000, reimbursement of the EB advance registration fee plus up to $2,000
travel reimbursement to EB and complimentary admission to the section
Banquet at EB) is in honor of one of the most distinguished members of the
Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section and past president of the APS,
Horace W. Davenport. This is the most prestigious award of the APS
Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section. The award recognizes
distinguished lifetime achievement in gastrointestinal and liver
physiological research, including accomplishments in research, teaching,
training and activities within the APS. The ideal candidate will have made
contributions whose implications extend beyond the boundaries of
gastrointestinal and liver research interests. The Gastrointestinal &
Liver Physiology Section Steering Committee chooses the recipient of this
award. Awardees will deliver an honorary award lecture at EB 2011 and are
recognized at the Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section Banquet and
Business Meeting. Nominators must upload the candidate’s curriculum vitae
and a nomination letter summarizing the candidate’s qualifications.
Questions should be directed to R.K. Rao at:
rkrao@physio1.utmem.edu
All application materials for the 2011 award must be
submitted by December 8, 2009.

Horace W. Davenport Award Recipients
The
Gastrointestinal & Liver
Physiology Section New Investigator Award
($1,000 monetary award, reimbursement of the EB advance registration fee,
complimentary admission to the GI & Liver Section Banquet at EB) 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 Gastrointestinal & Liver 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 Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology 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.
Candidates must upload: the curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS
members, and 3 reprints. Awardees are recognized at the Gastrointestinal &
Liver Physiology Section Banquet and Business Meeting. Questions
should be directed to R.K. Rao at:
rkrao@physio1.utmem.edu.
All application materials must be
completed online by December 8, 2009.

New Investigator Award Recipients
The
Takeda Distinguished
Research Award
of the APS Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section recognizes an
outstanding investigator who is internationally recognized for his/her
contribution to research in areas represented by the Section. The chosen
individual will receive a $1,500 honorarium, reimbursement of the EB advance
registration fee and complimentary admission to the GI & Liver Section
Banquet at EB. Candidates are judged based on their publication record, and
the content of the nomination letter. Qualified researchers can be nominated
by regular APS members or can self-nominate. Awardees are recognized at the
Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section Banquet at EB 2011, where they
are expected to give an after dinner talk, and at the section Business
Meeting. Questions should be directed to R. K. Rao at
rkrao@physio1.utmem.edu.
All application
materials must be completed online by December 8, 2009.
Past Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology Section
TAKEDA Distinguished Research Award Recipients
The Gastrointestinal & Liver
Physiology Section Research Recognition and Takeda Travel Awards are
designed to recognize trainees and junior level faculty who are engaged in
gastrointestinal and liver research. These awards include monetary
honorarium, reimbursement of EB advance registration fee and complimentary
admission to the GI & Liver Section Banquet at EB. The awards are given
based on competitive appraisal of abstracts submitted to the Experimental
Biology meeting. Separate awards will recognize 1) work done while enrolled
as an undergraduate, 2) doctoral/medical student, 3) during the first five
years of postdoctoral or medical residency training and 4) done as a junior
level faculty who is within 10 years of having received a higher degree
(Ph.D., M.D., or D.V.M). The final distribution among these awards will
depend on the quality and the number of applicants. Awardees are notified
of winning the competition in advance of EB.
All applicants are
required to attend the GI & Liver Section Trainee Poster Symposium and
present their posters. Top ranking travel awardees will be required to give
a 10 min platform oral presentation during the poster symposium, and will be
notified in advance of EB if they will be making a presentation.
Additionally, all advance travel awardees may be asked to participate in the
judging of poster presentations at the 2010 GI & Liver poster symposium. In
this judging competition, applicants who did not receive an advance travel
award will have a separate opportunity to win a travel award during the
Poster Symposium.
To qualify for these
awards, the applicant must be a first author on an abstract submitted to a
GIL Topic Category (1145-APS through 1162-APS) at the Experimental Biology
2010 meeting, and either the applicant or a sponsor (in case of trainee
awards) must be a member of APS. All applicants must upload a copy of their
abstract and CV for consideration (and a half-page statement of research
accomplishments if a junior faculty candidate). Awardees are recognized at
the EB10 Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section Banquet and Business
Meeting. Questions should be directed to R.K. Rao at:
rkrao@physio1.utmem.edu
All application materials must be completed online by
December 8, 2009.
Gastrointestinal and Liver
Physiology Section Research Recognition Award Award Recipients
NEW!!
The Gastrointestinal & Liver
Physiology Section Predoctoral and Postdoctoral Poster Awards
(monetary award, $500 each; reimbursement of registration fee and
complimentary admission to GI & Liver banquet) are designed to recognize
a predoctoral (undergraduate or graduate)
trainee and a postdoctoral trainee who are engaged in
gastrointestinal and liver research. The awards are given based on a
poster competition at the new Gastrointestinal and Liver Section Trainee
Poster Symposium to be held on April 26, 2010 (5:45-7:45 PM). This
presentation is in addition to the regular EB poster presentation. The
final decision of awards will be based on the quality of research, the
oral presentation of the poster by the applicant, and the responses of
the applicant to a few minutes of questions. Applicants who have
already won a Research Recognition or Takeda Travel Award in the EB10
competition will not be eligible for the Poster Award in the same year.
Awardees will be recognized at the EB10
Gastrointestinal & Liver Physiology Section Banquet and Business
Meeting, held April 27, 2010.
To qualify for these awards, the applicant must be a first author on an

at the Experimental Biology 2010 meeting, and either the applicant or a
sponsor must be a member of APS. All applicants must upload a copy of
their abstract for consideration, making sure to clearly indicate if
they are a pre- or post-doctoral trainee. Questions should be directed
to R.K. Rao at:
