Description
Colgate-Palmolive sponsors this annual fellowship through the Society of Toxicology (SOT) to advance alternatives to animal testing in toxicological research. It supports a postdoctoral researcher’s proposed work using in vitro or other animal-alternative methods, with particular attention to the work’s potential to advance the field.
The fellowship aims to develop methods that reduce, replace, or refine animal use. Applicants must describe the sources of cell culture supplements and antibodies in their proposals. Colgate-Palmolive prefers non-animal serum and antibodies; applicants proposing animal-derived materials must justify their use and address possible alternatives.
