Fellowship Requirements

PAPS prefers that candidates seek a PAPS member to nominate them for the GAP program. Nominations of candidates can be made to the GAP Chair by any PAPS member in good standing. Candidates can also directly request the GAP Chair to nominate them if they do not know any PAPS members. The deadline for nominations is October 1 of the year preceding the PAPS meeting.

Each GAP Fellow shall be expected to deliver a presentation at the annual meeting. He/she shall be asked to submit the title and short summary of his/her presentation to the GAP Chair and the Program Chair one month prior to the annual meeting. He/she shall also be encouraged to submit an abstract to the scientific program if he/she so wishes; however, such abstract shall be judged using similar criteria as all submitted abstracts.
