The Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section New Investigator Award ($1,000 plus reimbursement of the advance registration fee and 1 year APS membership dues paid) 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 Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis 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.). Any member of the APS in good standing with a primary affiliation in the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section may apply or be nominated for the award.
Applications are reviewed by the Awards Committee of the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section and should include: (1) a curriculum vitae of the nominee with a complete list of publications; (2) a brief one-page summary and analysis of the research contributions of the nominee; (3) two letters of nomination from members of the APS.
Candidates will be judged on their publications, how their publications relate to the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Section and evidence for independence and promise (grant funding, peer review activities, etc.). The recipient of the award will present a lecture on his/her research during a WEH sponsored session at the annual Experimental Biology meeting and will be invited to publish a manuscript on this presentation in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative & Comparative Physiology. Awardees must attend the Experimental Biology meeting in order to collect the cash prize and are recognized at the Water and Electrolyte Homeostasis Luncheon and Business Meeting.
