Description
This award, offered through the Society of Toxicology (SOT) and its Association of Scientists of Indian Origin (ASIO), recognizes graduate students of Indian origin for research presentations at the SOT Annual Meeting. It focuses on student research communicated through meeting abstracts and presentations, with first authorship indicating the applicant’s lead role and significant contribution to the work.
The award is supported by the Dr. Harihara Mehendale ASIO-SIG student award endowment fund established with SOT, also identified as the Harihara Mehendale Association of Scientists of Indian Origin Student Award Fund. Multiple students receive monetary recognition and certificates each year. This is recognition for student research presented at the annual scientific meeting, rather than a separate research project funding program.
