Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship

American Physiological Society

The Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship of the Cardiovascular Section honors an established leader in cardiovascular physiology whose current research is especially compelling and likely to inspire engagement and growth of the CV Section. The lectureship honors one of the most distinguished members of the American Physiological Society (APS) Cardiovascular (CV) Section, Robert M. Berne, MD. The Robert M. Berne Distinguished Lectureship recipient will present a lecture at the American Physiology Summit describing their research.

About Robert M. Berne

Robert M. Berne, MD (1918-2001), was a distinguished cardiovascular physiologist whose research focused on the local chemical regulation of tissue blood flow, with an emphasis on understanding the role of adenosine and how it elicits vasodilation. His work significantly advanced the field’s understanding of coronary circulation and helped shape modern cardiovascular medicine.

Criteria

The nomination package includes:

Nominee biosketch in National Institutes of Health format, including descriptions of their significant contributions to cardiovascular research.
Two letters of nomination: One from a past or current trainee and one from the nominator's choosing.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

📊 1. Relevance to Physiology

Success depends on the clear connection between the applicant’s work and physiological science, whether mechanistic basic science, integrative biology, translational physiology, or systems biology. Proposals and abstracts should clearly articulate this relevance. Default

🧪 2. Scientific Potential & Research Experience

For research fellowships (e.g., SURF, Undergraduate Research Excellence), reviewers look for:

Demonstrated or clear potential for research success

A well-defined project plan or statement of interest

Fit with the host laboratory’s expertise and APS mission Default

🌍 3. Professional Engagement & Membership

APS membership and active engagement with the physiology community (through meetings, abstracts, society participation) are strong predictors of competitiveness, particularly for travel awards and early career recognitions. Default

📢 4. Quality of Communication

For presentations and abstract-linked awards, clarity of scientific writing, significance of findings, and effective oral or poster presentation are essential. Undergraduate research awards, in particular, are judged on research clarity and impact. Expo

🌐 5. Broadening Participation & Inclusiveness

Programs like STEP-UP emphasize enhancing participation of underrepresented groups in biomedical research, making well-designed diversity programs particularly competitive when they include clear plans for mentorship and scientific growth. Undergraduate Research at UCSC

🧠 6. Career Trajectory & Impact

For prestigious awards (e.g., Bowditch, Cannon, young investigator awards), selection committees assess:

The significance of contributions to physiology

Publication record, innovation, and influence on the field

Potential for continued leadership and scientific impact FASEB

🛠 Application & Review Practices

While specific mechanisms vary in process and deadlines, APS funding and awards often involve:

Online submissions of applications or abstracts to APS calendars (e.g., Experimental Biology / American Physiology Summit).

Review by committees of peers from within APS sections and topical interest groups.

Scoring on criteria such as scientific merit, relevance to physiology, clarity of goals and potential impact.

Final selection by APS boards and leadership for honors and competitive programs. Default
