Description
Administered by the Society of Toxicology (SOT) with support from Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), this award supplements academic laboratory resources for graduate student research and training. It aims to increase diversity in toxicology by supporting Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic American, and Indigenous American students whose experiences and perspectives can help address the needs of patients and communities.
Funding supports ongoing dissertation research or development of expertise in methodologies relevant to current research objectives. The program also offers students and faculty mentors an opportunity to partner with BMS nonclinical scientists to discuss the trainee’s research and build professional networks. This mentoring is intended to prepare awardees for competitive research roles in toxicology while supporting faculty in training future toxicologists.
