To encourage diligent young scientists, the SGP has created
an awards program which recognizes excellence in physiology.
In addition to our symposium awards,
the SGP also supports both aspiring and independent young investigators
through its traditional Cranefield Award and two new SGP
Cranefield student awards.
The traditional Paul F.
Cranefield Award was
created by the Council of the Society of General Physiologists
to honor Paul F. Cranefield, M.D., Ph.D., who for 30 years
served as Editor of The
Journal of General Physiology. The Award ($5000) is
meant to recognize an independent young investigator who in
the preceding calendar year has published an outstanding article
in the Journal. It further was stipulated that the Award criteria
should be such that the Award need not be given every year.
The Awardee is selected by the Society's Council based on
nominations submitted by the Society membership and the editors
of the Journal. Nominations should include the Nominee's Name
and a complete reference to the journal article, should be
signed by the person making the nomination, and should include
a brief evaluation of the article and why it is deemed to be
outstanding.
Please see the Cranefield
award nomination form.
Nominations should be faxed or emailed to
the Society's Executive Office at:
fax: 508-540-0155
email: sgp@mbl.edu
The deadline for nominations is January 15th.
