Description
The Society of Toxicology’s Inhalation and Respiratory Specialty Section (IRSS) Paper of the Year Award recognizes published research that contributes to respiratory and inhalation toxicology. It honors the author who nominates the paper with an engraved plaque, presented at the section’s annual meeting. This is recognition for completed, published research rather than funding for a proposed project or future scientific work.
The award focuses on a paper’s originality, scientific quality, impact, and value to the field. Nominations must explain these contributions and identify the paper through a full citation. Eligible papers must have appeared in a peer-reviewed journal within the specified publication window preceding the annual meeting.
