AACT Junior Investigator Research Grant supports new investigators working with senior mentors on clinical toxicology studies to develop research skills and share findings with the scientific community.
Funder: American Academy of Clinical Toxicology
Due Dates (Anticipated): May 2028 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: One $45,000 grant every other year (even years); project timeline up to 24 months
Summary: Supports clinical toxicology research projects led by new investigators with senior mentors while developing research skills.
Key Information: Both the junior principal investigator and senior investigator must be AACT members in good standing.
The American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT) offers this grant to support clinical toxicology research and develop new investigators’ research skills. It funds specific projects conducted by junior and senior investigator teams, rather than providing long-term support for research programs. Mentoring by an experienced senior investigator is central to the program, and multidisciplinary research teams are encouraged.
Applications should emphasize focused clinical toxicology study objectives, sound research methods that support those objectives, interdisciplinary collaboration, potential for replication, and prudent use of grant funds. Support can cover study personnel, consumable supplies and services, subject expenses, and travel essential to conducting research or presenting results. Recipients are expected to share findings through scientific meeting presentations and submission to peer-reviewed journals.
