Awards Committee
PURPOSE: The purpose of the Awards Committee is to oversee all society-level awards, recognizing excellence in physiology and service to the community in ways that advance the strategic goals of APS.
MEETINGS: The committee meets at least once annually. Meetings may be conducted either in person or virtually depending on need.
The committee is composed of at least 12 members of the Society, with at least one member per section. All awards subcommittee chairs serve as ex officio members, without vote. The chair is appointed by the Committee on Committees with approval by the APS Board of Directors. The chair also serves on the APS Advisory Council. The awards and events manager serves as staff liaison to the committee.
- Oversee all Society-level awards to ensure uniformity and conformity with the Society’s goals and objectives.
- Oversee the activities of the awards subcommittees and create new subcommittees as needed.
- Select the Research Career Enhancement Awardees, Teaching Career Enhancement Awardees, the Arthur C. Guyton Awards for Excellence in Integrative Physiology Awardee, the Shih Chun Wang Young Investigator Awardee and the Lazaro J. Mandel Young Investigator Awardee.
- Manage the selection process and select the APS Postdoctoral Fellows.
- Select recipients of other awards as directed by the Board.
- Submit a written annual report to the Board at their spring meeting, as part of the consent agenda, providing activities from the previous 12 months. The report will be due three weeks ahead of the meeting.
