Award Description
The American Physiological Society (APS) Renal Section New Investigator Award recognizes an outstanding researcher in the early stages of their career. Applicants should be investigators who have made significant contributions to the areas of research represented by the Renal Section.
Eligibility
Applicants must be:
- An APS member in good standing with primary Renal Section affiliation.
- Equivalent to or below the rank of assistant professor or a comparable position in a research track at an academic institution or in industry.
Previous award recipients, even if from a different section, are not eligible to apply.
Criteria
Candidates will be judged on their publications, how the publications relate to the Renal Section, and evidence of independence and promise (e.g., grant funding, peer review activities).
Applications shall consist of:
- PDF of the abstract under a Renal Section topic category.
- Curriculum vitae.
- Two nomination letters from APS members.
- Three publication reprints.
Applications that include excess or incomplete materials—such as more than the required two letters or a blank curriculum vitae—will be excluded from evaluation.
The award recipient must attend the American Physiology Summit where they will be recognized. The awardee is also expected to make an oral or poster presentation at the Summit.
Applications are only accepted via online submission.
