SOT Has Formed Three New Science-Based Task Forces and a New Committee—More Ways to Become Involved
For 2008–2009, SOT leadership has formed three new task forces and a new committee. A description of each follows below.
Disease Prevention Task Force: Evaluates current Society activities in the areas of prediction and prevention of toxicity and disease and recommends the SOT role in regulatory and risk assessment sciences, as well as increasing human translational sciences.
Professional Needs Assessment Task Force: Defines key areas where the Society can assist in addressing the long-term needs of the profession.
Scientific Liaison Task Force: Develops approaches that will improve the ability of SOT to partner with other domestic and international organizations that have objectives consistent with our goal of increasing the impact of the science of toxicology to improve public health.
Research Funding Committee: Identifies, formulates, and recommends strategies and mechanisms for increasing conventional and alternative sources of funding for research and training for members.
Additional information about other committees and task forces and the Volunteer Form can be found on the SOT Web site.
