The Cell and Molecular 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 Cell and Molecular 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 Cell and Molecular Physiology Section and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review activities, etc.). Although this is not an abstract-based award, eligibility requires that awardees submit an abstract under a Cell and Molecular Physiology Section Topic Category, attend the EB Meeting, and make an oral or poster presentation. Unlike the other CAMPS awards, they need not be first author of the submission, but are anticipated to be senior author. Abstracts must be submitted by the meeting deadline of November 8, 2012, and then all additional application materials must be completed online by December 1, 2012.
The candidate must be an APS member in good standing and be affiliated with the Cell and Molecular Physiology Section.
Candidates must upload: curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS members, and 3 reprints. Awardees are recognized at the Cell and Molecular Physiology Banquet at the EB Meeting. As per APS rules, the applicant must attend the Experimental Biology meeting in order to be eligible for the award. Only one application per candidate will be accepted for any specific year and this award can only be obtained once.
The Cell and Molecular Physiology Section Research Recognition Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) will be given to TWO successful candidates for work performed while in the first through fifth postdoctoral year or medical residency. Applicants must be first author on an abstract submitted under a Cell and Molecular Physiology Section Topic Category by the abstract deadline to the EB meeting and this work will be the primary basis for evaluation. The trainee and/or their direct mentor must be a member in good standing of the APS.
Members of the CAMPS Steering Committee will evaluate all submitted abstracts and supporting documents and then select the semi-finalists who will be announced via email and a newsletter to the CAMPS membership prior to the EB meeting. The semi-finalists shall make a special poster presentation to the judges and public prior to the Cell and Molecular Section Banquet at the EB meeting (CAMPS dinner). The poster judging typically occurs at the beginning of the EB meeting. Award winners will be selected by the panel at this time and awards announced, for the first time, and presented at the CAMPS dinner.
The applicant must attend the Experimental Biology meeting in order to be eligible for the award.
Applicants must upload: 1) a copy of the submitted abstract; 2) their curriculum vitae; and, 3) a brief (e.g. half page) recommendation letter from their mentor describing why the trainee is deserving of the award. The abstract must be submitted by the EB meeting abstract deadline of November 8, 2012 and then all application materials must be completed online by December 1, 2012. Only one application per candidate will be accepted for any specific year. Award cannot be received in consecutive years.
The Cell and Molecular Physiology Section Robert Gunn Student Awards ($300 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) are available for up to TWO pre-doctoral candidates, allotment depending on applicant pool. One award will be given for work done while enrolled as a medical or graduate (doctoral or masters) student. An undergraduate researcher is given priority for the second award. Applicants must be first author on an abstract submitted under a Cell and Molecular Physiology Section Topic Category by the abstract deadline to the EB meeting and this work will be the primary basis for evaluation. The trainee and / or their direct mentor must be a member in good standing of the APS.

Hugh Davson Distinguished Lectureship of the APS Cell and Molecular Physiology Section
Award: $1,000 and up to $2000 to cover travel and per diem expenses
Contact: Eric Delpire, Chair of the Cell & Molecular Physiology Section: eric.delpire@vanderbilt.edu
Deadline: set by section
The 12 Distinguished Lectureship Awards are named after outstanding contributors to the disciplinary areas of physiology represented by the 12 APS Sections. The recipient is chosen by the Section as a representative of the best within the discipline. Lecturers present and are active participants at the Experimental Biology meeting. Each year, four of the 12 lecturers give plenary lectures that incorporate the main meeting topic. In the years that sections do not have plenary lectures, the lecturer presents one hour of a featured topic programmed by the section. Each recipient receives a $1,000 honorarium and up to $2,000 to cover travel and per diem expenses incurred during the meeting.
