Description

The goal of the James A. Swenberg Carcinogenesis Merit Award Fund is to encourage junior faculty members to conduct transformative mechanistic research in the field of carcinogenesis. The fund is used to recognize outstanding individuals for their cumulative contribution to advancements in understanding the mechanisms of environmental agent-associated carcinogenesis. The awardee will receive a cash award of $1,000, a plaque of recognition, and be asked to give a brief presentation of their work in chemical carcinogenesis at the Carcinogenesis Specialty Section Meeting/Reception during the SOT Annual Meeting. Applicants must be a member of the Carcinogenesis Specialty Section at the time of the award. They must hold an appointment as a tenure- or research-track assistant professor in an academic institution (or equivalent) in the United States or abroad. It must have been fewer than 15 years since obtaining the highest earned degree (in the year of the Annual Meeting of the Society of Toxicology). Applicants can be self-nominated or nominated by their peers. Two letters of support will be required to be sent directly to the CSS contact. A cover letter or letter of application briefly describing significant research and contributions to the field of carcinogenesis must also be submitted.
