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

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.
