Award Description

The Giles F. Filley Memorial Award for Excellence in Respiratory Physiology and Medicine recognizes an individual demonstrating outstanding promise based on their research program in respiratory physiology and medicine. The award promotes physiological contributions to the national research community, just as Giles F. Filley did through his membership in APS. Because of Filley's long association with the University of Colorado, preference is given to individuals affiliated with the institution. The awardee must attend the American Physiology Summit. The award does not include any indirect cost reimbursement.   This award is contingent upon funding and cannot be deferred to future years. 


The award package includes:

  • $10,000 honorarium designated for use in the awardee’s research program but does not include any indirect cost reimbursement.
  • Complimentary early registration to attend the Summit. 
  • Certificate recognizing their designation as Giles F. Filley awardee. 

The award is presented during the APS Awards Meeting.
