Young Investigator Award
|
This award recognizes an outstanding research effort by a new investigator in the
field of sleep research. The basis for evaluation of candidates is a single publication
in a refereed journal. The candidate should be the first author; and the article
must be published or officially accepted for publication by the application deadline.
On the application deadline, the candidate must be within 7 years of obtaining a
terminal degree. Exceptions to this criterion will be considered for those applicants
who feel that extenuating circumstances warrant such consideration. A letter detailing
these considerations must be included with the application.
The award consists of a plaque and a travel honorarium to be applied toward travel
to the SLEEP 2008, 22nd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies.
The plaque will be presented at a ceremony at the APSS Annual Meeting.
To apply, candidates must submit, as a single PDF or Word Document, a single CV, documentation
of the date of receipt of terminal degree and, if applicable, a letter outlining
extenuating circumstances . If a paper is in press at the time of application, a
copy of the written notification of the paper’s acceptance for publication must
also be included. Applicants should provide the name of a senior investigator who
will provide a letter of recommendation. The senior investigator does not need to
be an author on the paper or abstract, but should be familiar with the candidate’s
role on the research project. The candidate is responsible for ensuring that the
letter of recommendation from the senior investigator arrives by the application
deadline. In addition, a candidate must be a member in good standing of the SRS
or must include a completed application for membership and fee with the award application.
Repeat applications from unsuccessful applicants from previous years are encouraged.
The Young Investigator Award can only be received once by an individual.
Candidates are welcome to apply for both the Young Investigator Award and the Trainee
Travel Fellowship, but in the event the candidate receives the Young Investigator
Award, she/he will receive only this award. Multiple awards may be recognized, dependent
on the quality of the applications.
