The
Christian Crone Travel Award for Outstanding Young
Investigators
Christian Crone
(1926-1990)
This relatively new award is given to reward meritorious research in the field of microcirculation by an individual residing outside of the United States and Canada to supporting the recipient's visits to laboratories within North America. It is intended for a researcher who has received a Ph.D. or completed a first M.D. residency within 12 years of the deadline. A letter of nomination describing how the award will benefit the nominee's career and advance knowledge of microcirculation, a brief tentative itinerary including the laboratories to be visited and a current CV should be submitted to the Chairman of the Awards Committee, Dr. Mariappan Muthuchamy at marim@tamu.edu prior to December 2nd of the year preceding the award. The award consists of a certificate and $2000 to help defray travel costs associated with the trip. The recipient is expected to present a brief report of their trip to the MCS membership at the annual banquet.
