Description

The CTSS Yves Alarie Diversity Award for Trainees and Young Investigators was established in July 2019 by his students, friends, colleagues, and family. Dr. Alarie, a longtime member of the SOT, has made significant contributions to the fields of inhalation toxicology and computational toxicology. A monetary award will be given to a motivated trainee or young investigator from an under-represented group that is working in the field of computational toxicology and shares Dr. Alarie's passion for science. The award will recognize an outstanding graduate student or postdoctoral scholar who embodies Dr. Yves Alarie's scientific excellence. Applicants may be doctoral students, post-doctoral students, early investigators conducting research in academia, industry, government, or other organizations. Applicants must be training or working in the field of toxicology or a closely related discipline with evidence of career advancement. Applicants working for a governmental agency should get approval from their agency to accept the award prior to applying. Applicants must also be current SOT members and members of an under-represented group in the biomedical sciences (e.g., women, individuals with disabilities, economically disadvantaged individuals, etc.). Members of other under-represented groups not identified by NIH may also apply by providing a narrative describing the under-represented group(s) to which they belong and reason(s) for CTSS consideration of their application.
