Rob Clarke Awards

The Rob Clarke Awards recognise the research work carried out by undergraduate members and non-members of The Society. Prizes, named in honour of the late Dr Rob Clarke, are awarded independently for the best abstracts and posters presented at the meeting.


Earlier this year, undergraduates were invited to submit, as an abstract, their undergraduate research project to The Society. Following consideration by a review panel, the best abstracts were then selected to receive the Rob Clarke Undergraduate Abstract Award and invited to present their undergraduate research project as a poster at IUPS 2013. 

A list of students awarded the Rob Clarke Undergraduate Abstract Award can be downloaded below. These students will receive the following:

•    A certificate of award
•    Free membership of The Physiological Society for one year
•    Support of up to £400 to attend and present their work at IUPS 2013.


At IUPS, a review panel will review the posters presented by the Abstract Award Winenrs and the best will be presented with the Rob Clarke Undergraduate Presentation Award.

 

 

Terms and Conditions

  1. Work must have been carried out as an undergraduate.  Research undertaken after graduation would not be eligible.
  2. Recent (first year) postgraduates can also submit an abstract, but their research must have been completed as an undergraduate and their higher status will be taken into account in the judging process.
  3. All types of projects will be considered (including science communication, undergraduate ambassador and library projects), as long as they are hypothesis-driven and show data collection and analytical skills.
  4. The supervisor must approve the abstract being submitted for presentation at IUPS 2013.
  5. The abstract must have been written by the student. (It is acknowledged that abstracts may not include the final results and conclusions of a project)
  6. The abstract must be in the same format as other abstracts for IUPS 2013.
  7. If the student is successful and receives a travel grant award to support their attendance at IUPS 2013, they must return any funds they have received if they do not attend the meeting.
  8. The poster must follow the same guidelines as other posters for IUPS 2013.
