Description

The Barbara A. Horwitz and John M. Horowitz Undergraduate Research Awards are presented annually to undergraduate students who are presenting their research at the American Physiology Summit. There are two types of Horwitz/Horowitz Undergraduate Research Awards: the Outstanding Undergraduate Abstract Awards and the Excellence in Undergraduate Research Awards. Applicants must be enrolled as an undergraduate student at the time of the abstract submission to the American Physiology Summit. They must be the first author on a submitted abstract to the American Physiology Summit. Applicants must also be working with an APS member in good standing. Applicants may not submit more than one abstract for the award competition each year and will only be eligible for the Excellence in Undergraduate Research Award if they are selected to receive an Outstanding Undergraduate Abstract Award. Applicants may only receive the Excellence in Undergraduate Research Awards only one time. Applicants may receive the Outstanding Undergraduate Abstract Award more than once. Applicants must submit one letter of recommendation from the research advisor that indicates the applicant played a significant role in the research (and is deserving of first-authorship), has an understanding of the significance of the research and has some interest in a biomedical and/or physiology-related career. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Physiological Society for more information.
