Sites of Interest

The Society of Toxicology has established a collection of Web sites to assist scientists, journalists and members of the public in identifying or locating toxicology-related Web sites that provide factual information on human, animal, and environmental health. In addition, harvesting of a web resources database is underway. (Web sites offering Toxicology products or services should use ToxExpo.com to add a listing with SOT.)

The Society of Toxicology provides these sites as a service to its members and the public. SOT does not endorse the accuracy or guarantee availability of these sites.

Funding and Grants

In the United States:

  • NIGMS has renewed a Request for Applications for Short Courses in Integrative and Organ Systems Pharmacology (R25) (RFA-GM-08-010). The application receipt date is February 26, 2008. For details, visit: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-GM-08-010.html

    The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for Education Projects to develop and deliver short courses that will provide students with a 2-3 week intensive research education and training in the area of Integrative and Organ Systems Pharmacology. These courses will introduce students to the knowledge and skills needed for studies of integrative organ system and whole organism biological responses to drugs and other physiological perturbations. The research education and training should foster ability of scientists at various career levels in academic, industry, and government to assume leadership roles in all three sectors. The goal of these Education Projects will be to strengthen the research personnel base in the United States by broadening the exposure of students to training in integrative and organ systems sciences.

  • Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research

    The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Awards in Health Policy Research funds highly qualified individuals to undertake broad studies of the most challenging health ploicy issues facing America. Approximately 10 grants of up to $335,000 each will be awarded to investigators from a variety of disciplines to support projects that combine creative and conceptual thinking with innovative policy-relevant approaches.

    Applications are welcomed from investigators in the health, social and behavioral sciences and well as other fields. We seek a diverse group of applicants including minorities and individuals from nonacademic settings such as research firms and policy organizations. Applicants must be affiliated either with educational institutions or with 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations located in the United States or its territories. Past awardees are not eligible to apply.

  • Burroughs Wellcome Fund's (BWF) new institutional training program–Institutional Program Unifying Population and Laboratory Based Sciences–in the house that you will help us develop a new cadre of scientists work at the connections between population approaches to human health and basic biomedical research.

    The awards will provide $500,000 a year for five years in order to stimulate institutional training programs that partner researchers working in school of medicine and schools (or academic divisions) of public health.

  • Apply for an NIH Director's Pioneer Award. If you're a new investigator, you're also eligible for an NIH Director's New Innovator Award.

    Both programs are part of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research and support exceptionally creative scientists who propose highly innovative-and often unconventional-approaches to major challenges in biomedical or behavioral research.

    Women and members of groups that are underrepresented in NIH research areas are especially encouraged to apply.

  • NIH is inviting health professionals engaged in biomedical and behavioral research to apply online for a loan repayment award. The loan repayment programs (LRPs) are a vital component of our nation's efforts to recruit and retain highly qualified professionals to careers in research.

    NIH annually awards loan repayment contracts to approximately 1,600 health professionals with an average award of $52,000. More than 50% of the awards are made to individuals less than 5 years out of school. Approximately 40% of all new applicants are funded and 70% of renewals are funded.

    NIH will repay up to $35,000 annually of qualified educational debt for health professionals pursuing careers in one of the five Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs). The programs also provide coverage for Federal and state tax liabilities.

    To qualify, applicants must possess a doctoral-level degree, devote an average of 20 hours per week or more to research funded by a non-profit organization, university, or government entity (NIH grant support is not required). Applicants must also have outstanding educational loan debt equal to at least 20% of their institutional base salary and be U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

    All applications for 2008 awards must be submitted online by 8:00 p.m. EST, December 1, 2007.

    To access the online application or for program information, please visit the LRP Web site at www.lrp.nih.gov. For assistance call the Helpline at (866) 849-4047 or send email inquiries to lrp@nih.gov.

  • Manganese Health Research Program

    The Manganese Health Research Program (MHRP) is funded by the United States Department of Defense.  The MHRP Steering Committee is made up of independent scientists, occupational health experts from Mn producer and end-user companies and is chaired by the Secretary General of the International Manganese Institute.   Dr. Michael Aschner of Vanderbilt University Medical Center is the Principal Investigator (PI) and the overall administrative oversight is carried out by his university. 

    Request for Proposals for Phase III  

    The Manganese Health Research Program (MHRP) invites preliminary research applications to investigate the relationship between manganese exposure and human health concerns, and to explore mechanisms by which manganese contributes to the development, progression, or exacerbation of human disease.  The major purposes of this initiative are to:
