The Mechanisms Specialty Section of the Society of Toxicology is pleased to announce a competitive travel award to support the travel of two post-doctoral fellows (up to $500 each) to attend the 46th annual meeting of the Society of Toxicology.
For consideration as a candidate for an award:
- An abstract must have been submitted to the 2008 Annual SOT Meeting with the post-doctoral fellow as the presenting author.

One letter must be from the post-doctoral fellow’s mentor and must specifically state the role and contribution of the fellow in the completion of the work, especially when there are multiple authors.
- The post-doctoral fellow may be sponsored for this award by any person who is a member (active or pending) of the Mechanisms Specialty Section of the Society of Toxicology. Member sponsorship from the Mechanisms Specialty Section should be noted in one of the letters of recommendation.
