SICB Division of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry (DCPB)

George A. Bartholomew Award - A call for nominations 2010

Each year the Division of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry awards a prize to a young investigator for distinguished contributions to comparative physiology and biochemistry or to related fields of functional and integrative biology. The formal title for this award is "The George A. Bartholomew Award." Eligible candidates are those who have completed their doctorate within the past seven (7) years and who are members of the SICB. Candidates for this award may apply themselves or they may be nominated; all candidates will be evaluated equally. Applicants should submit to the Chair of the Award Committee, who this year is Dr. Stephen Secor, a short description of their work, selected reprints, and a curriculum vita. Three letters of recommendation should be solicited from colleagues who know of their work. Nominators must arrange for these same materials to be sent to Dr. Secor, except that only two additional letters of recommendation are required. The person chosen as the recipient of this award will be invited to present a special address at the SICB Meeting in Seattle 2010. In addition to a cash prize, the recipient will be reimbursed for expenses incurred while attending the meeting. Please send nominations for this award to Dr. Stephen Secor, ssecor@biology.as.ua.edu. The deadline for nominations is 24 August, 2009.
