Neural Control and Autonomic
Regulation Section Awards
The Michael J. Brody Young Investigator Award of the APS Neural Control
and Autonomic Regulation Section (NCAR) ($500 plus reimbursement of the
advance registration fee) is sponsored by Merck & Co. and recognizes a
promising young investigator who has made a significant research
contribution to the understanding of neural control and autonomic
regulation. The award is open to graduate students (post-candidacy exams),
postdoctoral fellows, and clinical fellows who present and are first author
on an abstract at the APS EB meeting. Either the applicant or the abstract
sponsor must be a member of APS. Applicants must upload: a copy of the
submitted abstract; a list of publications; a one page summary and
evaluation of research contributions written by the applicant; and, a letter
signed by both the applicant and sponsor indicating the date, or expected
date, of highest degree. Awardees are recognized at the NCAR Reception and
Business Meeting.
All application materials must be
completed online by November 4, 2009.

Recipients NCAR Section
The Neural
Control and Autonomic Regulation Section (NCAR) 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 NCAR 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 NCAR 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 the EB Meeting and make an oral or poster
presentation. The candidate must be an APS member in good standing with a
primary affiliation in the Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation Section.
Candidates must upload: curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS
members, and 3 reprints. Awardees are recognized at the NCAR Reception and
Business Meeting.
All application
materials must be completed online by November 4, 2009.

New Investigator
Award Recipients
The Neural Control and Autonomic Regulation (NCAR) Research Recognition
Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) provide
travel support to trainees and junior investigators to present meritorious
research at the annual Experimental Biology Meeting. Graduate students,
postdoctoral fellows and investigators with an academic rank not higher than
that of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) working in the area of neural
control and autonomic regulation are eligible to apply. Trainees and junior
faculty will be judged separately. Applicants must submit a first-authored
abstract to any appropriate NCAR topic and make the presentation at the EB
meeting. Either the applicant or the abstract sponsor/advisor must be a
member of the APS. Award criteria will be based on current work reflected in
the abstract and overall contributions to the field. Applicants must upload
a copy of the first-authored abstract and their curriculum vitae. Awardees
are recognized at the NCAR Reception and Business Meeting.
All
application materials must be completed online by November 4, 2009.
