American Physiological Society Renal Section New Investigator Award
The Renal Section New Investigator Award ($1,000, reimbursement of the advance registration fee, plus a complimentary ticket to the Renal Dinner) recognizes an outstanding investigator in the early stages of his/her career. Candidates should be investigators who have made meritorious contributions to the areas of research represented by the Renal 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 Renal 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. The candidate must be an APS member in good standing with a primary affiliation in the Renal Section.
Candidates must upload: curriculum vitae, 2 nomination letters from APS members, and 3 reprints. Awardees must attend the Experimental Biology meeting in order to collect the cash prize and are recognized at the EB2011 Renal Dinner.
All application materials must be completed online by November 3, 2010.
