The Pappenheimer Postdoctoral Travel Award
(1915-2007)
Established in 2007, this award recognizes the contributions to the field of Microcirculation by Dr. John R. Pappenheimer and is designed to encourage meeting participation by postdoctoral scientists training in research related to the microcirculation (Ph.D., M.D., and Physician-Scientists). These awards consist of a certificate and $500 to defray expenses associated with attending the annual meeting of the MCS.
To qualify, a postdoctoral trainee must be the first author on an abstract submitted under one of the MCS headings for presentation at the annual meeting of the MCS. To apply for the award, the trainee should forward a copy of their submitted abstract to the Chairman of the Awards Committee, Dr. Alison Fox-Robichaud at afoxrob@mcmaster.ca and request that it be considered for this award. The abstract should be accompanied by a letter of support from their mentor. Application materials are due prior to December 1st of the year preceding the award. A maximum of 10 Pappenheimer Postdoctoral Travel Awards will be made per year.
The awards will be presented at the banquet of the annual meeting of the MCS. While encouraged, membership in the MCS is not a requirement.
