Description

The Hispanic Organization of Toxicologists (HOT) has provided Travel Awards since 2005 to outstanding students and postdoctoral trainees of Hispanic/Latino origin working in the area of toxicology research. The HOT Travel Award consists of monetary funds to help with the associated costs of presenting their research and attending the SOT Annual Meeting and a recognition plaque for your laboratory or office space. The HOT will give preference to first-time applicants with a high-quality research background. Previous winners may apply with the understanding that the likelihood of winning a second award may be linked to funding availability after all first-time applicant winners have been selected. Applicants must be an undergraduate, graduate or postdoctoral fellow. They must be a HOT member of Hispanic/Latino origin in good standing at the time of submitting the application. Applicants must be the first author of an abstract submitted and accepted for the upcoming SOT Annual Meeting. Applicants must submit the copy of the complete abstract accepted by SOT; copy of the SOT email informing the acceptance of the abstract and the day and time of the presentation; a letter of recommendation from a mentor, written in English; and proof of active HOT membership. If the applicant is awarded, a copy of the registration to the SOT Annual Meeting must be submitted as soon as the applicant has it. Awarded applicants must also submit a copy of the flight ticket receipt as soon as the applicant has it. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
