The Endocrinology and Metabolism 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 Endocrinology & Metabolism 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 Endocrinology & Metabolism 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. Also, the recipient is expected to submit a brief review article in her/his area of research interest to the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism for publication within one year of receiving the award. The candidate must be an APS member in good standing with a primary affiliation in the Endocrinology and Metabolism Section.
Candidates must upload: curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS members, and 3 reprints. Awardees must attend the Experimental Biology meeting to receive the cash prize and are recognized at the Endocrinology & Metabolism Section Business Meeting and Awards Reception, 2013.
All application materials must be completed online by November 20, 2012.
The Endocrinology & Metabolism Section Research Recognition Award ($500 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee) is presented to up to four graduate students or research fellows whose investigations in endocrinology and metabolism physiology have been designated by the Steering Committee as being examples of meritorious research. Candidates must be first author on a submitted abstract to an APS Endocrinology & Metabolism Section topic category [1115-APS through 1128-APS] and be certified by his/her advisor as being eligible for such an award.
Applicants must upload a copy of the first-authored abstract. Awardees must attend the Experimental Biology meeting to receive the cash prize and are recognized at the Endocrinology & Metabolism Section Business Meeting and Awards Reception.

Solomon A. Berson Distinguished Lectureship of the APS Endocrinology & Metabolism Section
Award: $1,000 and up to $2000 to cover travel and per diem expenses
Contact: Josh Anthony, Ph.D., Chair of the E-M Section: joshua_anthony@campbellsoup.com
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.
