AAPS Outstanding Manuscript Award

Dear All At the 2014 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. 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.
