The SOT 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 may be enrolled as an undergraduate student 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. They must submit their research abstract by October 15 for presentation at the SOT Annual Meeting. They must have a subsequent acceptance of the abstract by the Scientific Program Committee. They 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.
