Member Benefits

Many society members ask themselves what they get for their membership dollar when joining an organization. For an AFMR member, the benefits are clear:

• A complimentary print and online subscription to the Journal of Investigative Medicine (JIM), the AFMR's official journal. AFMR members are exempt from page charges in JIM.
• Discount on the fee to publish High Impact Case Reports in the Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports.
• Advocacy on behalf of medical investigators and researchers - the AFMR is now a member of FASEB which strengthens the AFMR's public policy efforts.
• Reduced registration fees at Regional Meetings and AFMR National Meetings, as well as for Translational Science 2013, April 17-19, 2013 in Washington, DC which is co-sponsored by the AFMR.
• Reduced registration for the Grant Writing Workshops.
• Eligibility to participate on the AFMR national and regional councils and committees and the opportunity to participate on FASEB subcommittees.
• Opportunity to apply for a series of Awards - including the AFMR Outstanding Investigator Award, Junior Physician Investigator Awards, the Henry Christian Awards, and AFMR Regional Scholar Awards
• Opportunity to present work at the Regional Meetings as well as to present symposia at Experimental Biology each year - a forum for translational research. The AFMR supports participation in selected symposia and reimburses speaker expenses.
• A dedicated Members' Only area on the AFMR website where members can update their records, access the journal, seek information on other AFMR members, and obtain important grant and career information
