Hispanic Organization of Toxicologists SIG Hispanic Travel Award |
| Award Description
|
The Hispanic Organization of Toxicologists (HOT) has provided travel awards for the past seven years to Hispanic students and postdoctoral trainees working in the area of toxicology research. The HOT travel award is offered to outstanding young scientists of Hispanic origin to help with the associated costs of presenting their research at and attending the SOT Annual Meeting. Our organization places particular emphasis on high quality research that includes, but is not limited to, Hispanic population issues pertinent to the USA and Latin America. We look forward to continuing to provide a competitive travel award and encouraging the participation of all Hispanic students and postdoctoral trainee members of HOT. HOT will give preference to first-time applicants with a high quality research background. Previous winners may apply with the understanding that the likelihood of winning a second award may be linked to funding availability after all first-time applicant winners have been selected. The award consists of $750.00 and a beautiful plaque for your lab or office space.
To apply for the HOT Travel Award, candidates must comply with the following requirements:
1) Applicant must be an undergraduate, graduate or post-graduate fellow
2) Applicant must be BOTH an SOT and HOT member (or applicant) of Hispanic origin
3) Applicant must be first author of an abstract submitted and accepted for the 2012 SOT Annual Meeting
