Award Description
The August Krogh Distinguished Lectureship of the Comparative and Evolutionary Section (CEPS) is awarded to a member of the American Physiological Society who has made major and meritorious contributions to the scientific areas represented by CEPS. The Krogh Lectureship, sponsored by Novo Nordisk Foundation, is the most prestigious award given by the section. Members of CEPS vote for the recipient of this award from the slate of nominations selected by the CEPS Steering Committee.
The awardee will deliver an honorary award lecture at the American Physiology Summit and will be recognized at the CEPS banquet and business meeting. The awardee will also be invited to contribute a review manuscript based upon the lecture for publication in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
Eligibility
The nominee must:
- be an APS member,
- have made major and meritorious contributions to the scientific areas represented by CEPS, and
- be nominated by a CEPS member.
Criteria
The nomination package consists of:
- a nomination letter with a synopsis of the nominee's scientific contributions to the field of comparative and evolutionary physiology;
- no more than five supporting excerpts from other colleagues and trainees;
- curriculum vitae including:
- positions;
- honors or awards;
- grants and publications;
- current and past grant support;
- list of mentees (e.g., K-12 students, undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty) that includes their name, level accomplishments, year of completions, and their current position; and
- list of professional activities, especially those relevant to the American Physiological Society and/or CEPS.
A minimum of three nominees on the Krogh Distinguished Lectureship ballot is required. If there are fewer than three nominees, additional nominees may be added to the ballot from a pool comprising the previous three years' nominees. The addition of nominees shall be determined by vote of the CEPS Steering Committee. A nominee from the pool of prior nominees may appear on the ballot only if the nominator agrees to re-nominate the candidate. Candidates in the pool of previous years’ nominees may remain in the pool for a maximum of three years.
The CEPS Steering Committee will determine the final slate of nominees.
Nomination packets will be judged based on scientific contributions to the field as evidenced by publications, grants, honors, and awards. Additional consideration will be given to professional activities related to supporting and advancing the mission of the American Physiological Society and/or CEPS as well as advancing the field through mentoring activities.
