Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Arnold J. Lehman Award recognizes an individual who has made a major contribution to risk assessment or the regulation of chemical agents, including pharmaceuticals. It honors scientific contributions that have shaped regulatory practice, rather than funding a proposed research project. Nominees may work in academia, government, or industry.
Recognition may be based on the application of sound scientific principles to regulation, research activities that have significantly influenced the regulatory process, or both. The central consideration is the impact of the individual’s work on risk assessment or chemical regulation. The award includes a cash stipend and a plaque presented at the SOT Annual Meeting Awards Ceremony.
