Edgar Folk Senior Physiologists Award is presented to senior physiologists, 70 years or older, who no longer have grant funds available to them. The award may be used for purposes such as attending a meeting of the Society to present a paper, engaging in a series of modest experiments, or completing a manuscript.
The award is given throughout the year with a recipient receiving up to $500 depending upon the need. The Senior Physiologists Committee assists in the selection of the recipient. The names of recipients are not made public.
Latin American Initiative Program
Award: $5,000
Deadline: June 30, 2013
Contact: Executive Office
With the aim of strengthening the ties between APS, sister Physiological Societies in Latin America, and physiologists working in the Americas, APS established The Latin American Initiative. The program began in 2000.
This initiative is handled by the APS International Physiology Committee. Each year, the initiative supports 4 courses/workshops/symposia that are carried out in Latin American countries with participation of APS members. The budget for each course/workshop/symposium is $5,000, which will be provided in the form of reimbursement upon receipt of a final report on the event. Applicants should note that symposia that occur over half a day or less of a conference will not be supported. However, applications that request funding for symposia combined with other events, such as visits to laboratories or Physiology Departments, that allow Latin American physiologists to have more direct interactions with invited symposium speakers are welcomed.
The deadline for applications is June 30, 2013 or funding in 2014
Applicants are strongly advised to read the Guidelines for Applicants carefully before submitting an application (see Resources below).
Applicants should note that:
- They must be APS members in good standing.
- Providing ALL of the information requested in the Guidelines for Applicants will increase the likelihood that the application will be successful.
- Applications that request funding only for symposia that occur over half a day or less of a conference will not be supported.
- Applications must be submitted online at www.the-aps.org/awardapps. Paper applications will not be accepted.
