The Pappenheimer Postdoctoral Travel Award


Named in honor of microcirculatory scientist John R. Pappenheimer, who was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and developed the 'textbook definition' of passive capillary permeability, these awards are given annually to up to ten young investigators to encourage their participation in the annual meeting of the Microcirculatory Society (part of the Experimental Biology meeting each year). For 2022, the awards will consist of a certificate and $500 to help defer the costs of attending the meeting. Applicants must be within five years of completing a PhD or first MD residency and have submitted a first-author abstract to one of the Microcirculatory Society topic categories at Experimental Biology (1040-APS through 1054-APS). 

Criteria:

  • must be within five years of completing a PhD or first MD residency
  • must be an MCS member
  • must submit an abstract to an MCS category
