The ASIO Best Paper Award is offered by the Association of Scientists of Indian Origin (ASIO), a Society of Toxicology special interest group. It recognizes outstanding original research published by ASIO members in peer-reviewed journals, with a focus on toxicology or related fields. The award honors a research publication rather than supporting a proposed project.
The ASIO awards committee determines the winner or winners, who receive a plaque or certificate. Recognition can also extend to other authors of the selected paper: when an equal-contribution first co-author applies, all first authors are recognized; when the last author applies, the first author and equal-contribution first co-authors are recognized as well.
