The goal of the RDTSS 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). Recipients must be current graduate students or postdoctoral scholars at the time of the award submission. 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. Applicants must submit 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. A letter of recommendation from the student's primary academic advisor or mentor is highly encouraged. Award recipient(s) will be selected based on the scientific quality of the abstract, overall impact to the fields of reproductive and developmental toxicology or teratology, and career goals in these fields. Current career status will be taken under consideration in the judging process. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
