AAPS Fellow Award
(Deadline: April 11, 2008)
|
AAPS has a strong commitment to the recognition of
select AAPS members through their designation as FELLOW. The
primary criterion for election to FELLOW status is professional
excellence in the fields relevant to the mission of AAPS. Election
to FELLOW status thus will be based on the individual's documented
sustained level of superior and distinguished
professional achievement and contributions in a relevant field.
Since pharmaceutical scientists practice in diverse
basic and applied areas, the measurement of their contributions
and impact on a field requires a careful consideration of many
factors. Accordingly, each nomination must be supported by a
carefully prepared Portfolio that clearly provides detailed
documentation of the candidate's accomplishments and contributions
and the impact in a particular field. The term “portfolio"
literally means "a collection of representative works,"
and its use here implies a document that is not limited to such
traditional academic forms of evidence as refereed publications and
successful grantsmanship. In fact, for scientists working in
non-academic environments, significant evidence of scientific
contribution other than traditional refereed publications may have a
major role. The portfolio thus provides the opportunity for all
members to be recognized for their accomplishments, regardless of the
setting in which they function, but requires careful preparation in
order that the sustained scientific contributions of the nominee
are documented concisely and unambiguously.
