SOT Undergraduate Research Award

Eligibility

SOT Undergraduate Research Award, with an application deadline in October, offers numerous awards of $800 each.

Description

The Society of Toxicology Undergraduate Student Research Award recognizes outstanding students in progress for associate or bachelor's degrees who present their original research at the SOT Annual Meeting. The goal of the award is to foster the student's interest in pursuing graduate studies in toxicology or a closely related field. Awardees are selected based on their unique contribution to their toxicology-related research project as evidenced in their statements, research abstract, and a nomination document from the research advisor overseeing and supervising the student's work. The applicant must: be enrolled as an undergraduate student for the full 2024-2025 academic year in a program that terminates with either an associate or bachelor's degree, or in the bachelor's stage of an accelerated dual degree undergraduate/graduate program, or in the preprofessional stage of a professional degree program. Applicants must not have received the SOT Undergraduate Research Award previously. Nomination from the primary investigator or laboratory leader overseeing the applicant's research project is required. The student should request a nomination from the main supervisor of the laboratory and be able to attest to the student's research skills and career potential based on the nominator's experience mentoring undergraduate research students. The nominator should not be a graduate student, postdoctoral scholar, or laboratory technician. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
