  • One award sponsored by Cantrol International ($500) for research in environmental, exercise, thermal, or applied physiology that involves the evaluation of physiological responses in controlled simulated environmental conditions. 

  • One award sponsored by the Gatorade Sport Science Institute ($600) for research in environmental, exercise, thermal, or applied physiology. 

  • One award sponsored by Nike Loren G. Myhre ($1,500) for research in environmental, exercise, thermal or applied physiology.
