SOT Matching Funds to Foster Global Initiatives Are Available to RC, SS, and SIG Groups
SOT Council has made available $6,000 in matching funds to support the efforts of Regional Chapters (RC), Specialty Sections (SS), and Special Interest Groups (SIG) to develop global initiatives. SOT will match (one to one) funding from the RC, SS, and SIG up to $2,000. Matching funds will be provided for activities consistent with the following goals:
- Provide opportunities for discussion of issues of global importance in a variety of venues,
- Stimulate interactions between colleagues with different perspectives and expertise on global issues,
- Partner with other international scientific societies and public health-based organizations to more effectively establish a global toxicology agenda, and
- Organize international workshops, satellite meetings, and other mechanisms to help reach a common understanding on important global health issues for policy makers and the public.
These activities will aim to increase the understanding of global scientific and regulatory issues, to foster improved science and global regulatory harmonization, and to increase the reliance of international decision makers on the science of toxicology.
Proposals are due by June 1 and will be competitively reviewed. Program proposals should be of such merit that they could be selected for presentation at the SOT Annual Meeting. Session proposals should be focused on an important toxicological issue, be balanced around any controversial topics, be timely, be complete as possible with regards to coverage of relevant topics, and should involve key investigators/experts in the field. For more information, view the guidelines for Global Initiative Matching Funds on the SOT Web site.
