Call for SOT Award Nominations: Deadlines are Approaching
It is not too early to begin preparations for Nominating SOT members—or

Each year at the Annual Meeting the Society recognizes its distinguished

Awards Ceremony. The Awards Committee reviews the applications and selects
the recipients. Details about each award and the
required application items are available on the SOT Awards
and Fellowships section of the Web site. Students intending to apply

September 1st membership application deadline.
For SOT Awards, a sponsor and seconder, who are full members of SOT,
must submit a nomination using the Award Nomination Process available
through the Awards
Nomination On-Line system beginning July 1st. The supporting documentation
must indicate the candidate's achievements in toxicology and is critical
in the review of each application. These nominations for most awards remain valid for
two additional years.
June 15 is the next deadline for the Colgate-Palmolive Awards for Student
Research Training in Alternative Methods. Graduate Student applicants
submit a proposal for funding of a training experience in in vitro
or alternatives methodology to enhance their thesis or dissertation research.
Additional deadlines are October 9 and February 15.
The Board of Publications Best Paper Award
for the Best Paper in Toxicological Sciences is presented
to the author(s) of the best paper published in the official SOT publication
during a 12-month period, terminating with the June issue of the calendar
year preceding the Annual Meeting at which the award is presented.
The SOT Regional Chapters, Specialty Sections, and Special Interest Groups
