Description
The Colgate-Palmolive Award for Student Research Training in Alternative Methods, offered through the Society of Toxicology, helps graduate students develop techniques that advance alternatives to animal use in toxicological research and testing. Training must enhance the student’s thesis or dissertation research and may cover in vitro methods, computer modeling, structure-activity relationships, or other relevant methodologies.
Students may train in a laboratory away from their home institution, in a home-institution laboratory where the training would not otherwise be available, or through an approved workshop, symposium, or continuing education program offering hands-on training. Colgate-Palmolive prefers non-animal serum and antibodies in cell-culture research.
