Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Inhalation and Respiratory Specialty Section (IRSS) offers this special award for the 2026 Annual Meeting. It recognizes a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher evaluating the effects of inhaled toxicants on respiratory cells through an in vitro or ex vivo approach. The scientific focus is on respiratory-cell effects, rather than inhalation research broadly.
The award highlights research whose purpose, approach, key results, and presumed impact directly relate to this topic. Applicants describe those elements in a one-page research summary, accompanied by a separate mentor letter highlighting the candidate.
