Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program
Deadline: October 21
The Society of Toxicology Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program (GSSEP) aims to increase the global impact of toxicology on human health and safety by working to strengthen toxicology programs and capacity at universities throughout the world. The SOT Global Senior Scholar Exchange Program provides funding support for mid to senior-level scientists from countries recognized as part of the SOT Global Economy Support Programs to visit SOT Member Host scientists with an established toxicology program to gain insight into toxicology research programs. The program will enable the Scholar to visit the partnered organization, with the goal of improving toxicology education and training at the Scholar’s university (including identifying gaps in the core toxicology curriculum, defining barriers to program or student success, organizing courses or symposia on toxicology topics of high priority in their country, developing joint publications, or other beneficial activities). The program will also fund the Scholar to attend the SOT Annual Meeting as an opportunity to present research and establish scientific networks. SOT plans to fund two Scholars from Global Economy Member Country. The Hosts will be selected first, and then matched with Scholar applicants for best fit with training and research objectives. This program is not intended to provide equipment, laboratory supplies, or renovations to current facilities. The Scholars and Hosts are responsible for their own insurance coverage during the exchange interval and will make travel arrangements through the SOT travel agency.
