The Bodil M. Schmidt-Nielsen Distinguished Mentor and Scientist Award honors a member of the American Physiological Society who is judged to have made outstanding contributions to physiological research and demonstrated dedication and commitment to excellence in training of young physiologists whether by mentoring, guiding and nurturing their professional and personal development, developing novel education methods/materials, promoting scientific outreach efforts, attracting individuals to the field of physiology, or by otherwise fostering an environment exceptionally conducive to education in physiology.
The award was established to recognize Dr. Bodil M. Schmidt-Nielsen, the first woman President of the Society and a distinguished physiologist who has made significant contributions in her field. The award of $1,000 and a commemorative plaque will be presented at the annual Experimental Biology meeting where the awardee will meet with APS members and young scientists and give a talk on mentoring. The awardee will also be asked to write up the talk for publication on the web and/or in The Physiologist and will receive reimbursement of expenses incurred in association with the delivery of the talk at the Experimental Biology meeting. The first award was made at EB 2004.
