Description
The Society of Toxicology (SOT) Hardship Relief Award helps members experiencing hardship after an unexpected disruption in employment maintain their engagement with the Society. It supports continued membership and participation in the SOT Annual Meeting rather than funding a research study or project. Assistance can address membership dues, meeting registration fees, and the costs of attending the Annual Meeting.
The award is connected to the SOT Hardship Relief Temporary Fund, managed by SOT Council. Its purpose is to help members remain involved in the Society despite employment-related financial hardship. Eligible applications are considered on a first-come-first-served basis.
