The SOT Merit Award is presented to a member of the Society of Toxicology in recognition of distinguished contributions to toxicology throughout an entire career in areas such as research, teaching, regulatory activities, consulting, and service to the Society. 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 documentation and description of career highlights for the nominee and their significant contributions to toxicology; CV listing is not sufficient without analysis and discussion of the important contributions. 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.
