The goal of the Edward W. Carney Trainee Award Fund is to encourage education and training in reproductive and developmental toxicology. The fund will be used to support graduate student or postdoctoral scholar travel to meetings that offer significant educational opportunities in the field of Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology, such as the Annual Meetings of SOT and the Society for Birth Defects Research and Prevention (BDRP). Individuals who are not a member of the SOT and/or BDRP are eligible, but those who are or who are in the process of becoming a member will be given preferential consideration. Submission files should include three documents: a cover letter with a personal statement describing how the current project fits into their overall thesis, training, and career goals; a copy of the abstract to be presented as part of the travel award, preferential consideration will be given to scholars that have already submitted abstracts; and a letter of recommendation from the student's primary academic advisor or mentor is highly encouraged. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
