The ATA Dr. Burhan Ghanayem Outstanding Graduate Research Award, offered by the Society of Toxicology through ATA, celebrates a graduate student’s success in carrying out high-quality research in the toxicological sciences. It recognizes research already undertaken rather than funding a proposed new project, with graduate student achievement and excellence in toxicology at its center.
Selection is based on the applicant’s submitted abstract and poster.
