The Carl J. Wiggers Award ($1,000 honorarium, a featured topic selected by the awardee plus complimentary registration to the EB Meeting at which the featured topic is scheduled) is in honor of the Cardiovascular Section's founder, Carl J. Wiggers, whose research defined fundamental pressure-flow relationships in the cardiovascular system. In addition to publishing definitive texts in circulatory physiology, Dr. Wiggers founded Circulation Research and trained numerous future department heads as well as several presidents of the APS. The award is presented to a scientist who is a fellow of the Cardiovascular Section of the APS, who has made outstanding contributions to cardiovascular research throughout their career, has been an active and committed member of the section, and who will attract outstanding new members to the Cardiovascular Section from the United States and abroad.
The nomination package should include: 1) NIH-style biosketch with 15 most representative publications and 2) two nominations.
All application materials must be submitted by March 1, 2013 to be considered for the 2014 award.
The 2014 Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship of the APS Cardiovascular Section ($1,000 plus complimentary registration to the 2014 EB meeting) is in honor of one of the most distinguished members of the Cardiovascular Section, Robert M. Berne, whose research focused on the local chemical regulation of tissue blood flow, with an emphasis on understanding the role of adenosine and how it elicits vasodilation. This award is presented to a emerging leader in cardiovascular research whose current research is particularly stimulating, such that the presentation of this work would contribute to interest in, and growth of, the Cardiovascular Section. The applicant need not be a current member or fellow of the CV Section but should be in a peak career stage of research innovation and productivity.
Required Documents include: 1) NIH-style biosketch with 15 most representative publications; 2) two nominations.
Eligible individuals should submit their application electronically through the APS website by March 1, 2013 to be considered for the 2014 award.

To be eligible, the investigator must have earned an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree within the past 5 years and have submitted a first-authored abstract to the Experimental Biology Meeting under an APS Cardiovascular Section Topic Category. It is expected that the awardee will attend the Experimental Biology meeting and present his or her research.
The awardee will be recognized at the Cardiovascular Section Banquet during the EB meeting. Required Documents include: 1) Abstract number, 2) Abstract first author’s name, 3) PDF of abstract submission

The Cardiovascular Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) was founded by the APS in 2002 in recognition of outstanding investigators in the early stages of their career who have made meritorious contributions to the scientific areas represented by the Cardiovascular Section of the APS. Candidates must be an APS member in good standing with a primary affiliation in the Cardiovascular Section and should not be above the rank of Assistant Professor or a comparable position in a research track at an academic institution or in industry.
The candidate must upload on the APS website their curriculum vitae, two nomination letters from regular APS members, and a first- or senior-authored abstract from their laboratory that will be presented at EB.
Candidates will be judged on their abstract, new research development(s), how their new area of investigation relates to the Cardiovascular Section, and evidence of their independence and promise (funding, peer review activities, etc.). The awardee must attend the Experimental Biology meeting in order to collect the cash prize.
Required Documents include: 1) curriculum vitae, 2) summary of research, 3) two nomination letters, 4) abstract number, 5) PDF of abstract submission, and 6) abstract first author’s full name.
All application materials must be submitted by November 13, 2012.
The Cardiovascular Section Research Recognition Awards ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) are designed to encourage submission of abstracts to the Experimental Biology meetings from junior investigators (i.e., doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows). To be eligible, doctoral students must be engaged in their dissertation research while postdoctoral fellows must have earned an MD, PhD or equivalent degree within the past 5 years.
Applicants must have submitted a first authored abstract to the Experimental Biology Meeting under an APS Cardiovascular Section topic category. It is expected that awardees will attend the Experimental Biology meeting and present their research. Up to nine Research Recognition Awards will be made each year based upon those abstracts judged to be most meritorious. The awardee must attend the Experimental Biology meeting in order to collect the cash prize.
