application, instrumentation, individual and collective biography,
departmental and institutional history, history of societies including APS,
and physiology in its public context. Manuscripts should represent original
research and be adequately documented. Articles published in journals or
books of the Society during the prior calendar year are also eligible for
the award upon request by the author. The recipient receives $500 and
reimbursement of expenses incurred while attending the Experimental Biology
meeting of the Society. The article may be published in one of the Society

John F. Perkins, Jr. Memorial Award
Award: Up to $5,000
Contact: Executive Office
Deadlines: April 15 and October 15
The John F. Perkins, Jr. Memorial Award promotes cultural
and scientific benefits associated with the international aspects of
physiology. The award provides supplementary aid to families of foreign
scientists working in the U.S. In this way, young scientists are able to
bring their families and thus make full use of the cultural as well as the
scientific benefits associated with an international exchange. The program
presupposes that the visiting scientist and his/her host already have made
arrangements for scientific collaboration and have sufficient funds to cover
the needs of the visiting scientist. Several awards are granted each year.
Application for the Perkins Award must be made jointly by the host, who must
be an APS member, and the visiting scientist. The recipient receives funds
generally not exceeding $5,000. The size of the award depends on the
estimated needs over and above the amount already available to the visiting
scientist. For scientific visits beginning between January 1 and June 30, the
application is due on October 15 the year before with notification by
December 15. For scientific visits beginning between July 1 and December
31, the application is due on April 15 of the same year with notification by
June 15.
