The APS Local Undergraduate Research Award in Physiology allows APS Members to recognize undergraduate excellence in physiology research at their home institution. LURAPs were established to foster interest in physiological research for undergraduates and encourage them to continue with physiological studies. Additionally, the award encourages undergraduates to connect with APS members at their home institutions. Required information to request a packet includes member name and institution; member ID number; member contact information; name of the oral/poster presentation competition; and the date of oral/poster presentation competition. Applications are accepted year-round on an on-going basis. Applications must be submitted at least four weeks before the research showcase event. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Physiological Society for more information.
