Description
The NESOT Paper of the Year Award is administered by the Northeast Society of Toxicology (NESOT) through the Society of Toxicology. It recognizes an exceptional recent publication in toxicology by a graduate student or postdoctoral fellow, honoring completed scientific work rather than supporting a proposed research project.
The award focuses on the quality of a trainee’s first-authored, peer-reviewed paper and how effectively the research is developed and communicated. Review considers the manuscript’s scientific reasoning, research approach, methods, results, and discussion. The recipient receives a certificate and, depending on funding availability, a monetary honorarium. Recognition takes place at the NESOT reception during the SOT Annual Meeting.
