The Duane F. Bruley Travel Awards

Duane F Bruley - ISOTT 2024 travel award

These awards were established in 2003 and first presented at the 2004 annual ISOTT conference in Bari, Italy. This award was created to provide travel funds for student researchers in all areas of oxygen transport to tissue. The awards signify Dr. Bruley's interest in encouraging and supporting young researchers to maintain the image and quality of research associated with the Society. As a co-founder of ISOTT in 1973, Dr. Bruley appreciates and encourages cross-disciplinary research among basic scientists, engineers, medical scientists, and clinicians. His pioneering work constructing mathematical models for oxygen and other anabolite/metabolite transport in the microcirculation employed computational solutions and were the first to consider system non-linearities and time-dependence, including multi-dimensional diffusion, convection, and reaction kinetics. The Duane F. Bruley Travel Awards are intended to inspire students to excel in their research, as well as to assist in securing future leadership for ISOTT. A candidate may be nominated and receive this award multiple times, as long as the award criteria are met in the year of nomination. The award includes a cash prize intended to assist with paying for ISOTT meeting registration fees and/or travel expenses.

​

TERMS OF THE AWARD

  • The candidate must be either a student (undergraduate or graduate) or a postdoctoral fellow at the time of the annual meeting and be a member of ISOTT or eligible for membership.

  • The candidate must provide evidence of sustained research activities in the field of oxygen transport to tissue (and/or a related field).

  • The candidate must submit one or more abstracts as a lead author, make a research presentation during the annual ISOTT conference in the year of nomination, and submit a full manuscript to the ISOTT proceedings in the year of nomination.

  • A recipient who has previously received a Knisely Award may not be nominated for this award.

  • The candidate for this award may be simultaneously nominated for other ISOTT awards, but a candidate may receive only one award.

  • A candidate who is unsuccessful in any given year may be nominated again in a subsequent year, as long as the award criteria are met in the year of nomination.
