Teaching Career Enhancement Award

American Physiological Society (APS)

The APS Teaching Career Enhancement Award (TCEA) is designed to enhance the career potential of regular APS members who hold a rank equivalent to Assistant Professor or above. The award of up to $10,000 allows an individual to develop innovative and potentially widely applicable programs for teaching and learning physiology.

The award can be used either to support short-term visits to other schools to consult with experts who can assist with the development project, to pay for attendance at special courses devoted to methodologies appropriate for the educational development project, or research or development collaborations that will result in products or publications. The award does not include any reimbursement of indirect costs or daily per diem. The award does not pay a salary or daily per diem.

Please note: the awardee is expected to attend the American Physiology Summit (following the awardee announcement) for the award presentation. It is incumbent upon the awardee to assure that they will be able to attend the Summit with their own travel support. The award cannot be deferred to future years.

Applications submitted for the June 28 deadline should request funding for career enhancement activities that will be undertaken after August 1.

Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. A condition of the award is that successful applicants complete a short survey on the outcomes of their career enhancement activity 3-5 years after its completion. In addition, the award should be acknowledged in any publications arising from the Teaching Career Enhancement Award activities. The funds for this award should be used within the award year.
