sponsored by the W. B. Saunders Company [Elsevier] ($1,000 cash prize,
complimentary registration to Experimental Biology 2010, a framed, inscribed
certificate, and up to $750 in travel reimbursement to the Experimental
Biology meeting) recognizes a full-time faculty member of an accredited
college or university and member of the APS who has independent evidence of:
(1) excellence in classroom teaching over a number of years at the
undergraduate, graduate, or professional levels; (2) commitment to the
improvement of physiology teaching within the candidate's own institution;
and (3) contributions to physiology education at the local community,
national or international levels. The awardee is requested to write an essay
on his/her philosophy of education for publication in The Physiologist.
The typical nominee will have shown excellence
in teaching and have made significant contributions in student advisement,
graduate education, and/or curriculum design and reform at their
institution. The activities that distinguish a candidate in the rankings
include outreach activities at the state, national, or international level;
contributions to education through APS activities; peer-reviewed educational
journal articles; and widely disseminated publications such as commercially
produced textbooks, lab manuals, or software.

Award Recipients
The Teaching of 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 Teaching of 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 Teaching of 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 with a primary
affiliation in the Teaching of Physiology Section. Candidates must upload: a
curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS members, and 3 reprints.
Awardees are recognized at the Teaching of Physiology Section Business
Meeting.
