Eligibility

SOT Leading Edge in Basic Science Award, with an application deadline in October, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

The SOT Leading Edge in Basic Science Award is presented to a scientist who, based on research, has made a recent (within the last five years), seminal scientific contribution/advance to understanding fundamental mechanisms of toxicity. The recipient should be a respected basic scientist whose research findings are likely to have a pervasive impact on the field of toxicology. Candidates may be a SOT member or nonmember. Toxicologists as well as other scientists who may not identify themselves with the discipline of toxicology may apply. A letter of nomination from a full member of the Society and a seconding letter from a full member of the Society are required. Both letters should name the specific contribution(s) for which the scientist is nominated and discuss the potential impact on toxicology. A publication list is not sufficient without discussion of the impact and how the nominee meets the award criteria. Please visit the award's website for more information.
