Sponsored/Endorsed Sessions—SOT Annual Meeting 2011 
| Award Title | Biological Modeling SS Perry J. Gehring Student Award |
| Award Description | The Biological Modeling Specialty Section (BMSS) will sponsor Student Awards for Meritorious Poster/Platforms that are focused on all aspects of biologically based modeling in Toxicology at the Society of Toxicology 51st Annual Meeting in San Francisco, CA, March 11-15, 2012. The Student Awards will be presented at our BMSS Business Meeting and Reception in San Francisco, CA. Each award will consist of a plaque and a cash award. The competition is open to any current graduate and postdoctoral students. Each candidate, whose abstract has been accepted by the SOT for presentation at the 2011 Annual Meeting, must submit: (1) a copy of the abstract, (2) a letter (2 pages maximum) discussing the significance and potential impact of the work on toxicology and biological modeling, and (3) a letter of support from their major advisor. The application submission should be submitted as a single PDF file containing all supporting documents. To participate in the BMSS Student Award competition, membership in SOT and/or BMSS is not necessary. Research areas of interest include all aspects of biologically based modeling and simulation. Issues of interest may include, but are not limited to: models of complex biological systems, biological insights gained through model development, model validation, and mathematical/statistical/computational approaches to modeling. The deadline for submission of applications is January 9, 2012. We encourage all interested graduate and postdoctoral students to consider submitting their abstract for consideration. Full applications should be submitted to Jim Bruckner, Hisham A El-Masri, or Cecilia Tan. This award is made possible by the Perry J. Gehring Biological Modeling Student Award Fund of the SOT Endowment. |

| Award Title | Biological Modeling SS Best Paper Award |
| Award Description | The Biological Modeling Specialty Section (BMSS) will give an award at the 2012 SOT Annual Meeting for the best biologically based pharmacokinetic and/or pharmacodynamic modeling paper published in peer-reviewed literature in hard copy or on-line in 2011. Papers will be judged on the basis of innovation, quality of modeling, quality of the manuscript, impact on the field, utility in toxicology/risk assessment, etc. The awards committee will search Medline and other databases to identify candidate papers. You are also encouraged to nominate a paper of your own or that of someone else you think will be competitive. Please email a PDF of the published paper. If this is not possible, send its abstract and complete citation to Dr. Hugh Barton of Pfizer, Inc. at habarton@alum.mit.edu. The receipt deadline is midnight on December 19, 2011. |
| Deadline | December 19 |
