The SOT Annual Meeting will provide special opportunities for toxicologists to learn about grant opportunities and to speak with program officers. Two opportunities coordinated by the SOT Research Funding Committee include the NIH Resource Room and the NIH Brown Bag Lunch.
The NIH Resource Room will be open from 9:00 AM–4:30 PM Tuesday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 10 for researchers to meet individually and informally with program officers. Conversations can be scheduled in advance at the NIEHS exhibit booth or on a drop-in basis in the room.
The NIH Brown Bag Lunch is Tuesday, March 9 from 12:00 NOON to 1:15 PM. Some lunches will be provided, or bring your own, and join staff from the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR) and NIEHS for lunch, questions, and informal discussions about review and grant opportunities at NIEHS.
Two formal sessions during the meeting are endorsed by the Research Funding Committee and will feature talks on specific grants programs. During “Where Do I Go Now? Rational Career Development Planning for Early Career Scientists” on Tuesday, March 9 from 9:00 AM-11:45 AM, Carol Shreffler of NIEHS will discuss the NIH Pathways to Independence Award. On Wednesday from 4:30 PM to 5:50 PM, in the session “Seeking Funding for Undergraduate Research,” Michael Humble of NIEHS and Eli Hestermann of Furman University will discuss the Academic Research Enhancement Awards Program, and Sally O’Conner of National Science Foundation will review Research Experiences for Undergraduates Awards.
