AAPS Outstanding Manuscript in Modeling and Simulation Award - Call for Nominations

Dear All At the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS), the Clinical Pharmacology and Translational Research (CPTR) Section will recognize an Outstanding Manuscript in Modeling and Simulation. We are currently soliciting nominations for this award. The AAPS Outstanding Manuscript in Modeling and Simulation Award is intended to recognize outstanding achievement in modeling and simulation in clinical pharmacology and translational research as demonstrated by the author in quality and originality. The scientific impact of the published work should be the principle used in nominating the paper and can be based on new concepts, new modeling procedures, or in the application of modeling and simulation in drug development. The lead author of the selected manuscript will receive a $1,000 honorarium, a framed certificate which will be presented at the AAPS Annual Meeting and Exposition, and travel expenses up to $1,000 to be paid as reimbursement following the meeting. If the lead author is a non-AAPS member, a one year complimentary AAPS membership will also be presented. If the lead author cannot attend the meeting, travel expenses will be paid to a designee who will accept the award on behalf of the lead author. The winner in 2010 was: Snoeck E, Chanu P, Lavielle M, Jacqmin P, Jonsson EN, Jorga K, Goggin T, Grippo J, Jumbe NL, Frey N. "A comprehensive hepatitis C viral kinetic model explaining cure." Clin Pharmacol Ther. 2010 87(6):706-13. General criteria for nominated manuscripts * must relate to modeling or simulation in drug development and can be applied or theoretical. It should reflect applications in clinical pharmacology or translational research. Examples may include population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analyses related to some drug or theoretical methods related to pharmacometric analyses (e.g., covariate selection). * must have been published within 2 years prior to the meeting at which the presentation is made. * must have been published in a peer-reviewed journal, and be written in English. * the lead author does not have to be a member of AAPS. Nomination packages : * must be submitted by a member of AAPS * must include the complete citation for the paper as well as a clearly written statement of the impact, the significance, and the originality of the paper that justifies its nomination. * should be submitted as a single pdf file via email, although a single Microsoft Word file will be accepted if pdf capability is not available. The award name must be shown in the subject line of the email. FAXED OR MAILED NOMINATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Please send nominations to [email protected] by May 31st, 2012. We would like to thank Projections Research for their continuing funding of this award. Without their support we would not be able to offer this award.
