Hiroshi and Aya Irisawa Memorial Award for Excellent Papers in The Journal of Physiological Sciences
Each year the Physiological Society of Japan offers an award to the author(s) of outstanding papers published in the Journal of Physiological Sciences (formerly the Japanese Journal of Physiology). This award is named in honor of Dr. Hiroshi Irisawa, a well-known cardiac physiologist. Based on the Hiroshi Irisawa Fund, the award is sponsored by the Physiological Society of Japan. Its purpose is to promote the contribution of high-quality papers particularly those written by junior members of the Society. The selection of the award is the responsibility of the selection committee, whose members are JPS Editors and Officers of the Physiological Society of Japan. (In 2010, the award was renamed for the memory of Dr. Aya Irisawa who passed away in 2009.)
