Description
The American Physiological Society’s Translational Physiology Interest Group (TPIG) Translational Research Award recognizes trainees at the predoctoral and postdoctoral levels whose experimental research has potential for translation to industry applications. Relevant areas include treatment development or improvement, diagnosis, mechanism of action, and health and wellness.
The award emphasizes clearly articulated experimental findings and their significance beyond the research setting. Evaluation considers the research abstract, the applicant’s role in the work, the research’s significance to the field, and the applicant’s career goals. The TPIG Awards Committee selects one predoctoral recipient and one postdoctoral recipient each year.
