The Distinguished Toxicology Scholar Award is presented to a member of SOT who has made substantial and seminal scientific contributions to our understanding of the science of toxicology. Nominees should be active scientists involved in toxicological research. The prime consideration for this award is scientific accomplishment. Candidates must be a member of the Society. They must be an active scientist involved in toxicological research. They must also demonstrate substantial and seminal scientific contributions to the understanding of toxicology. Items needed in the application are a letter of nomination from a full member of the Society; curriculum vitae of the nominee; and a seconding letter from a full member of the Society. Both letters should provide specific examples and documentation of the scientific contributions of the nominee; a publication list is not sufficient without analysis. Preference will be given to nominees who have not received another SOT Award, defined as those conferred by the SOT Awards Committee, excluding Supported and Student awards, within the last two years. Please visit the award's website or contact the Society of Toxicology for more information.
