Award Description
The American Physiological Society (APS) Cardiovascular (CV) Section New Investigator Award was founded in 2002 and is made possible by the support of APS strategic partner, ADInstruments. This award recognizes an outstanding researcher in the early stages of their career who has made meritorious contributions to the scientific areas represented by the CV Section.
Eligibility
The applicant must:
- Be an APS member in good standing and have a primary affiliation with the CV Section.
- Not hold a rank above assistant professor or an equivalent position in an academic institution or in industry.

Criteria
The application package includes:

- PDF of a first- or senior-author abstract from the applicant’s lab that will be presented at the Summit.
- Abstract number.
- Abstract author's full name.
- Confirmation that the abstract topic submission corresponds with the correct section.
Candidates will be judged on their abstract, new research development(s), how their new area of investigation relates to the CV Section and evidence of their independence and promise, e.g., funding, peer review activities.
