NOTE: NEW MEMBER REQUIREMENT FOR APPLICANTS

The annual Caroline tum Suden/Frances A. Hellebrandt Professional Opportunity Award (provides $500 and complimentary registration for the meeting) will be granted to as many as 36 male or female graduate students or postdoctoral fellows who present a contributed paper at the meeting.

To be considered for the award, the candidate must be the first author of an abstract submitted to APS and must be a member of APS in good standing at the time of application (either Student or Regular).

The candidate must submit the following:
      1. A copy of his/her abstract
      2. A 1-page letter written by the candidate stating his/her career goals; his/her research goals, role in the research described in the abstract, and reasons why he/she is deserving of the award. The letter should NOT restate the abstract OR be longer than 1 page (or the award application will NOT be considered)

Successful abstracts typically include: a clearly stated hypothesis or aim; the technical approach to the study; the pertinent results obtained with quantitative and statistical comparisons, when appropriate; and a clearly stated conclusion, including the significance of the results to the field. Candidates may submit ONE abstract for consideration.

Awardees will be notified prior to March 1 and MUST be present at the APS Business Meeting to receive their award.
