SOT Members are Encouraged to Seek Grant Application Review Through New SIEE SEP
SOT leaders and members worked diligently over a number of years to realize the breakthrough of the establishment of the new Systemic Injury by Environmental Exposure (SIEE) Special Emphasis Panel (SEP) as part of the Digestive Disease Integrated Review Group. This SEP establishes a temporary review body populated by toxicologists to evaluate toxicology grant applications.
For this SIEE to be considered for conversion to a standing Study Section, toxicologists need to request their qualifying grants be assigned to this new SEP. The description of the SEP is available on the Web site and is easily located using the search function on the CSR Web site.
This SIEE SEP reviews applications related to the pharmacological and toxicological mechanisms whereby xenobiotics (including toxicants, alcohol, drugs, biopharmaceuticals, phytochemicals, and other non-drug chemicals) affect distinct organ systems, other than the digestive and nervous systems. Specifically, SIEE reviews applications related to the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, hematopoietic, renal, respiratory/pulmonary, immune, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Other areas included are skin, oral, dental, and craniofacial tissues, pregnancy and development. Applications addressing the effects of xenobiotics at the multi-organ level may also be considered.
