Call for Applications: G.B. Morgagni Prizes 2012
Nominations for the G.B. Morgagni Medal and applications for the Young Investigator Awards must reach our offices by February 29, 2012.
Named after the great Italian anatomist Giovanni Battista Morgagni who was one of the first scientists to carry out research on human anatomy (in Padua) and who laid the foundation for the modern concept of pathology, the G.B. Morgagni Awards Program was instituted in 1984 by a group of postdoctoral researchers working at the University of Padua Medical School.
The Morgagni Prizes were devised and founded by physicians/researchers who were deeply committed to the study and treatment of metabolic diseases. The intention was to promote research on diabetes and its complications, a major public health concern affecting a large portion of the population. Research activity needed to be designed and funded if progress was to be made in finding causes and developing treatment plans.
According to the program’s statutes, one major prize (gold medal and 20000 euros) for an outstanding European scientist and two minor ones (silver medals and 8000 euros each) for young investigators carrying out research in the field were to be conferred every two years.
A panel of experts in the field, headed by Prof Gaetano Crepaldi of the University of Padua, was instituted and was periodically renewed to examine and review the candidates’ qualifications, curriculum vitae, and scientific publications.
In 1985, under the auspices of the School of Medicine of the University of Padua, the first Gold medal was awarded to Professor Gerd Utermann (Germany), and a group of eminent scientists followed: Lelio Orci (Switzerland) in 1987, W.J. Malaisse (Belgium) in 1989, G. Ailhaud (France) in 1991, and Shlomo Eisenberg (Israel) in 1993.
Since 1997, Servier, the leading independent French pharmaceutical group, provides the program with an unrestricted educational grant, has been the sole sponsor of the Morgagni Prizes. In the years that followed, the Morgagni Prize’s fame spread and it soon became Europe’s most prestigious award for research in metabolism.
The next (thirteenth) edition of the Morgagni Prizes will soon begin and the winners will be announced in October 2012.
Gold medal Career Achievement 20000 Euros Each candidate for the Gold Medal should be nominated by at least two individuals who should provide the nominee’s curriculum vitae and supporting statements of not more than 500 words. Silver medal Young InvestigatorAward 8000 Euros Applications are invited from young European scientists (not yet 40 on January 1, 2012) who should forward a brief letter of application, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and reprints of their five most important manuscripts. Two prizes will be awarded every 2 years.
Documents may be forwarded by surface mail to the address below or by e-mail. Reprints should be sent only by regular mail.
Applications should be sent to Professor Gaetano Crepaldi, The G. B. Morgagni Prizes Committee, Centro Studi per l’Invecchiamento-C.N.R., Via Giustiniani 2, 35128 Padova, Italy. E-mail: crepaldi.metabolism@unipd.it
Call for Applications: Sleep Research Society Young Investigator Award

The candidate should be the first author and the article must be published or officially accepted for publication by the application deadline. On the application deadline, the candidate must be within seven years of obtaining a terminal degree. Exceptions to this criterion will be considered for those applicants who feel that extenuating circumstances warrant such consideration.

If a paper is in press at the time of application, a copy of the written notification of the paper's acceptance for publication must also be included.
Applicants must provide the name of a senior investigator who will provide a letter of recommendation. The senior investigator does not need to be an author on the paper or abstract, but should be familiar with the candidate's role on the research project. The candidate is responsible for ensuring that the letter of recommendation from the senior investigator arrives by the application deadline. Additionally, a candidate must be a member in good standing of the SRS or must include a completed application for membership and fee with the award application. Repeat applications from unsuccessful applicants from previous years are allowed.
Candidates are welcome to apply for both the Young Investigator Award and the Sleep Research Society Trainee Award Based on Scientific Merit, but in the event the candidate receives the Young Investigator Award, he or she will receive only this award. Multiple Young Investigator awards may be recognized, dependent on the quality of applications.
The deadline for receipt of the Young Investigator Award is Friday, February 10, 2012.
