AACT Toxicology Trainee Research Grant supports toxicology trainees and senior mentors conducting clinical toxicology studies to develop trainees’ research skills and share findings.
Funder: American Academy of Clinical Toxicology
Due Dates (Anticipated): June 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: One $4,000 award annually: $3,000 for research and $1,000 for NACCT travel; study duration up to 12 months
Summary: Supports mentored clinical toxicology research projects that develop toxicology trainees’ research skills.
Key Information: The principal investigator must be a clinical/medical toxicology fellow within five years of completing a terminal degree, with a senior investigator mentor.
The American Academy of Clinical Toxicology (AACT) offers this grant to support clinical toxicology research and develop toxicology trainees’ research skills. It funds specific projects conducted by trainee and senior investigator teams, rather than providing long-term support for research programs. Mentoring by experienced senior investigators is central to the program, connecting the conduct of a clinical toxicology study with the trainee’s development as a researcher.
Applications should emphasize clear clinical toxicology study objectives, sound methods that support those objectives, interdisciplinary collaboration, potential for replication, and prudent use of grant funds. Supported activities include research supplies and services, subject reimbursement, laboratory and statistical analysis, and travel to present findings at the North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology (NACCT).
